As far as developing a career as an actress, I think it's a fine balance between trying to just work, and also be true to yourself.

I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career.

Money's not important to me. Movie star acknowledgement is not important to me. I don't want to be a big studio actress. I don't want to be in the limelight.

As an actress, I learned a long time ago that there is a lot of this business that is just out of my hands. All I can really focus on is going to work every day and doing my best.

Acting is a life experience. I'm always learning things when I'm making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.

I do love being an actress. The other stuff, the 'fame', well - you know what? - you don't actually have to buy into it if you don't want to.

I didn't become an actor because I thought I'd make lots of money.

I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.

As an actress, you never know when you're going to work again - and there's so much dependency on working.

I was very aware that my path into the industry would probably be as an actress and not in production, that I could learn a lot that way. And I did.
