I think, as an actress, whether you want to or not, whether you're ready for it or not, people are going to look at what you're doing, and they are going to look up to you, and it's not even really about you; it's who you portray on the screen.

As an actor, the first thing you're taught is, 'Don't look into the camera; ignore it.'

Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.

I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.

Acting's all about the confidence you exude, especially on film. I mean, nervousness isn't attractive in anyone, but a film camera will seek it out and punish you.

As an actress I feel that if you start to impose your own inhibitions, then you are not doing your job.

I'm more interested in knowing my cues than my lines. If you know what your cues are, then you know what your reaction is going to be to them. Acting is about reacting, and if I can kind of purely react, that's easier for me.

As an actor, I always feel you basically have to be able to delude yourself.

When you're an actor you don't really know what you have to do until you see what you look like.

As an actor, I am careless with the way I look on screen.
