I sometimes feel like I could do another job. Anything. Maybe because as an actress you're playing different characters, everything feels possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better.
You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it's been something I've been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it's something I hope to continue because it's interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.
That's what I love about acting, is playing different roles. I want to work for the character, and not make it work for me.
Doing jobs that are completely different to the last thing I did pushes me as an actor to change as much as I can. It would be easy for me to stay in a similar vein of characters or jobs, but I'm drawn to challenging myself.
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've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
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.
Although I did end up trying out several different fields before committing to acting, I knew in the deepest part of heart that I wanted to be an actress.
What people forget is that I'm an actress. That's the wonderful thing about what I do. I get to play different roles.
As an actress, you never know when you're going to work again - and there's so much dependency on working.
