I wish I was a great writer or a great journalist or a great scientist or a great artist; I'm not.

I never, ever would have imagined the kind of career I've had. It just wouldn't have occurred to me that anything like this could have been possible. I didn't have any such aspirations. And I still can't believe my good fortune.

If you're lucky enough to pick what you do, that's the greatest career you can have. Ultimately, that's my goal: to have choices.

There's no way I would have thought I would have had the career that I did and the longevity. Absolutely no idea.

I would love to have a varied career, like Hugh Jackman. He started in musical theater, then established himself in film, but he still does a lot of stage work. And he does it all beautifully.

I still pinch myself that I had the career that I had.

I think the kind of career I've had, something would have had to be sacrificed.

I could be a star and maybe make lots of money, or I could change roles all the time and have a more interesting - and longer - career.

I wanted to be a professional singer/actress, though I knew it would be hard.
