A lot of the characters I play are very naive, and I don't think I'm like that. And I'm not stupid!

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

I see myself as a character actor, and I've always been drawn to playing characters that are different from myself because acting is escapism for me. I've never been that comfortable playing people that are like me.

Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.

I think I'm a part of all the characters I play, definitely at different times in my life. In real life, I'm kind of a tomboy. I like to read a lot I like watching T.V. I don't think I'm as interesting as my characters, but I like doing what I do.

Well, I always try to look at my characters as being better than I am. That's one of the reasons I guess I became an actor - because you get to create a persona that's bigger or better or more interesting than your own.

Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.

I don't really get a buzz from playing characters that are similar to me 'cause that's not acting to me.

I love to play any character that isn't close to my personality.
