I'm not being offered a constant stream of wonderful parts with wonderful directors that would keep me away from the theatre. When they turn up, I do them.

I don't think there are that many awesome roles out there, whether we're talking about movies or TV.

The thing that separates a so-so director and a great director is a love and caring for film.

You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.

If my favourite director gives me a role that is very sparkly? A very brilliant character? I'll do it.

But so long as we can keep this crew of fantastic people together and can continue to make real breakthrough films in this category, as well as characters that stay true to what we've done in this first film, I'd be more than happy to be a part of it.

A lot of these roles that I feel like I've had some sort of impact, or that have had an effect on me, have always been with directors who have the time to somehow get to know me. Any good director's going to be curious about who it is that's coming aboard.

As an actress I find the most enjoyable part of acting is really just to please the director. I just want to please my director.

I'd rather have a small part in a good film with good people than play the lead in something I don't really care for.

If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire 'best director' category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.
