Being a character actor, I can go on until I'm 70 or 80; I'm not bound to the way I look.

I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that.

Since first starting my career, I've grown accustomed to working with actors older than me. I'm always the youngest.

I was always a character actress, even when I was an ingenue. But as you age, people know what to do with you, and you're not quite as dependent on maintaining leading-lady beauty.

I think most models fear growing old, but from a tender age I had always chosen to play someone grown up. I am slowly but surely catching up with the people that I have spent the last decade and a half trying to portray.

I've always played characters that were younger than myself.

I'm a more mature actress now.

I started acting professionally at age 19.

As a child, I always liked dressing up and getting into character, and actors are lucky in being able to retain that playfulness, though we do seem to find it hard to grow up.

The choice of roles as I grow older gets more and more limited, so if I pin myself to one kind of part I would get in trouble. So, these oddball ladies came along for me to do - I guess Terry Gilliam helped in this respect. I have found them more interesting, flashier and I get more mileage out of them.
