I don't know how I got such an image, but I am not a Casanova. It's an image that I wouldn't have liked for myself.

I wish I'd played Coriolanus.

I have met a few Casanovas I like and a few I have not liked - and I hope to meet a few more.

I secretly harbor the fantasy of becoming an action star at any moment. I know I'd be great at it.

I'd love to play more challenging roles, characters that would stretch my comfort zone and imagination.

I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now that would be interesting.

My wide eyes make me look much younger without make-up, and although it's fun to have a line in innocence corrupted, I doubt I'll get to play the vampy vixen or a Hedda Gabler or Lady Macbeth.

If, at the end of the day, I can look back and see pictures of all the characters I've played, and there's a smorgasbord of weirdos and interesting, odd, different characters, I'd be so happy.

When I first watched 'Coraline,' I thought, 'If that ever got adapted...' If it was done by real actors, I think that would be a really fun thing to do, just because it's a kind of whole new universe.

I'd never really imagined myself as an action star.
