I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that's, of course, wonderful. I'm really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.

The one person whom I would like to be is Meryl Streep. Even at her age, she sits alongside the younger heroines at the Oscars with her name in the nominee list, and others around her wonder whether they still stand a chance.

My acting is still being recognized for the fact that I wasn't nominated.

It's very difficult to put your finger on why a certain actor or actress will capture your attention, and you'll think they're right for a role. There's an essence to a person.

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.

I'm honored that people would think of me for any big role that is talked about a lot.

I don't consider myself a very interesting person. I have the mentality of a supporting actor.

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.

Too many actors have run for office. There's one difference between me and them: I know I'm not qualified.
