I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.

As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you; to take the role and make it real.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.

I love acting, and ultimately all my characters are very different, and each character I love in a different way.

I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.

My only job as an actor is to try and understand the character and, to the best of my ability, bring this character to life.

I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.

That is one of the reasons one enjoys acting. Now and again, you get scenes where you work with somebody really good and you have a good time trying to make it really work and really work well.

I don't know if this is why everything has worked so well and I'm not sure I'd recommend this kind of thinking to anyone else, but I've always known I'd be successful in acting. I have certainly worked for it.

I only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters.
