I get very involved in my characters. Sometimes I have a very hard time separating my characters from my life.

I am drawn to characters that go on journeys, characters that are real people, that have life.

I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives.

It's true that I'm drawn to unusual stories. Normal roles don't really attract me.

I don't try to live the life of my character but I think it's inevitable that there is some carry-over into your life.

I think I'm a character actress at heart, and I think my work is character work for the most part. I'm not the lead of any films - which is not to say that I wouldn't ever want to be; it is just to say that hasn't been my path.

I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

I really think there is a certain destiny in my life to lead people.

I relate to most of the characters I play, because I do feel like an outsider.
