I wanted to be a theater actress, but I thought it would be easier to get to New York and the theater if I had a name than if I just walked the streets as a little girl from California.

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

I didn't want to be an actress. I wasn't trying to be in film or an art gallery for me.

I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, 'Well somebody has to be in them,' so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.

I didn't grow up knowing actors' names, and my parents weren't theater people.

There are countless fantastic actors out there who are being denied the opportunity to play Broadway because they're not a name, and I think that's kind of wrong.

I don't think Hollywood knows what to do with me. I would imagine that when it comes to romantic comedies, my name would be pretty low down on the list.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don't want to be that type.

I got pigeonholed a bit. When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted to be the kind of actress I became.

I've had some great times with actresses, but that's in a movie.
