I'm not really someone who's always out on the scene going places. I'm a homebody. That's just who I am.

I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are.

I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.

I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.

Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.

I'm not really an actress type. I'm an entertainer.

As an actor, particularly because I'm - I would call myself a character actor. I change my look, my physical appearance and my body, my hair color, my whatever all the time for a role.

It's the idea that when you say 'actress', people think of an airy, floaty, no-brain person, which of course you can't be if you are an actor. It is an unfortunate word, which is why, for a time, I hung on to 'actor', because it just seemed more workmanlike, you know, like you say 'woman doctor' not 'doctoress'.

I don't know what I am. I guess you can call me a character actor in the sense that I'll never be an ingenue. You know, that's over. My shot was missed. I take a normal person and make them more of a character. I don't know what that would be called.

I'm not very actorish. I don't play actor 24 hours a day. When the job is done, I go on to be myself, whoever that is.
