I would not want to go back to playing the ingenue.

I would hate to be immortal forever.

When you say you're 40, you can't call yourself an ingenue any more.

I'm not afraid to play my age. I never was. I've never been an ingenue. I like getting older.

I've never been interested in playing the boring ingenue.

I've never wanted to be the ingenue. Now that I'm getting into my forties, I think my time as a woman has arrived; I think I might have a new moment in my career. I have that drive left - just for a little while.

I was never an ingenue. I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.

As long as I loved and served Christ I could be anything I wanted to be.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

I've always said I've wanted to be around forever. I never wanted to be the latest, greatest thing. I want to be like Willie Nelson - touring when I'm 70. To do that, you can't be the latest, greatest thing because those things fizzle out.
