I wish I could say I had this master plan for a career, but I always thought acting was something I'd just do until I had a hit record.

I think because of my background - I went through university and did an academic career and fell into acting - I've never had a game plan for my career because I got into it quite ad hoc.

I don't know so much about making it, because I think of myself as a working actor who's always got my eye on what's going to be the next job. I've been acting for 22 years, and I think there's something to be said for simply staying in the game.

I was never ambitious to be a good actor. I just love doing it and I seem to be quite suited for it.

I've always had ambition, and the acting was successful and put my name on the map, but it was never the plan to stop there.

I really don't have a career plan. I like being challenged and thrown around. But it's only acting.

As far long-term aspirations, other than acting, I do want to direct a little bit. I want to get on the production side and eventually start a production company and maybe make some projects of my own.

My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.

I just thought acting would be something to help out with my student loans, but my first year as an actress, I made more money than my parents. That's when I realized it could turn into a career. After that, I put everything I had into it.
