Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
I've been really lucky in the work that I have done so far, to work with good female actors in lead roles. Lisa McCune in 'Blood Brothers' and Claudia Karvan in 'Spirited' and then Susie Porter in 'Sisters of War.' They've been working, and they've got good lives around them as well.
I didn't picture myself as a movie actress. I began to think about it around college. I remember thinking, 'Well somebody has to be in them,' so maybe I could do that eventually. It's all been a surprise.
Although I did end up trying out several different fields before committing to acting, I knew in the deepest part of heart that I wanted to be an actress.
There are certain stars who are not actors. I don't want to be that type.
There's a very small group of elite actresses who are my age, who people want to work with. It's not easy to get a good job with good actors.
I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.
People ask me what Gillian Anderson's like to work with, and I have no idea!
I wanted to work with Cate Blanchett. She is one of the five greatest movie actresses of her generation.
For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.
