The roles I was lucky enough to get were real stretches for me: usually a character who was older, or a little weird, or whatever. And it was hard, not just for the lack of work but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.

I've done a handful of great roles.

I know that some of the characters I played were trash. But then, I chose to take up those roles, as I enjoyed doing them.

I played a real nasty little girl but most of the roles I had up until then were very sweet and very nice.

I was fortunate enough to work under directors who were, most of them, brilliant, emotional men.

Obviously the first roles that you're proud of are the ones that everybody else liked too.

I was lucky enough to have a plethora of types of roles before and during the horror movie part of my career.

I've always thought of myself as a character actor, even though I've played some leading-man roles.

I think my favorite role was playing Sarah Baker in 'Cheaper by the Dozen 1.' It was my first movie, and I worked with amazing professionals who had such strong work ethics that I immediately learned how to work in this industry.
