I'm drawn to roles because they excite me intellectually and emotionally.

I choose roles that are not me.

I don't pick my roles by genre; that's kind of silly.

I don't pick my roles based on what clothes I have to wear. I pick roles because of the character I have to portray, and the public have enjoyed seeing me in those roles.

I have always chosen roles that I believed in - not ones that I thought might further my career.

I am very conscious about picking my roles and make sure that they are different.

I would probably choose supporting roles if I had to make a choice. It's actually a really hard thing to say. It's all on a role-by-role basis, ultimately. I shouldn't be so quick to say that. I feel like you're given greater license to be colorful and eccentric in supporting roles, and that's interesting to me.

I don't think I've ever had a real desire to pick out any particular role - I just see what comes up.

I'm not exactly in a position where I get to be super-picky about the roles I get. But I would also never want to be a part of something that I think is poor in taste or doesn't align with what I believe in.

I don't have a philosophy for choosing roles. Sometimes, it's just, 'This might be interesting; that might be fun to do.' There might be interesting actors or directors in the project, even if the part is not important. And then sometimes, you need the money.
