I'm a character actress.

I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.

I'm primarily a character actress.

In a weird way, I live vicariously through the characters I play as an actor.

All my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.

I like to think of myself as a character actor, though there's some redundancy in that.

I'm not some sort of tormented soul looking for an identity in the roles I take. I became an actress because I just love dressing up and playing.

Sometimes I don't feel like an actor. Sometimes I speak about it like it was another job, and then I go, 'Wait a minute - I am one!'

I think actors get too comfortable. I like being uncomfortable as an actor because it keeps you alive. I don't know, I think it's important.
