I have been a bit of a reluctant actress since the get-go, since the beginning of 'Lost.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm 40 next year and I'm very well aware that where I am now, it becomes a bit of a wilderness for actresses.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
The characters I've played as an actress have been really challenging and emotionally rewarding, but there was just something missing. I was finding over and over again that directors were looking to me to help with troubles on set as far as characters' relationships, special effects and story points were concerned.
I kind of have a rededication in my life now to acting because I'm very fond of being in this movie.
As an actress, I am always interested in the new writers.
I started out as a lousy actress and have remained one.
I'm not one of those actresses that's going to feel like I never achieved my dreams and goals and just get disgruntled and hate everything about the business. I've had so much fun.
When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted really to be the kind of actress I became.
I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.
I've never lost my appetite for acting; it's innovative and challenging.
