More often than not, I get cast as quite Machiavellian roles - it's something about my face; I'm quite shifty or something!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you are an actor every day kind of morphs into one as there is no set structure to my job.
I've never been someone who is cast for having a lovely figure but for whatever qualities I could possibly bring to a role, so I'm still castable.
I'm always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.
There aren't as many roles for people who look like me, and it was always complicated when it came to casting my parents. But now I couldn't be more grateful that I have a different look.
Over the years, I've gotten a little bit thick-skinned when it comes to the acting thing.
When it comes to casting, I've been so lucky. I've worked with unbelievable actors who make me look better than I am and take the written word and make it honest.
I cast unusual people in my movies.
I tend to turn down roles that are too much like me, what I think is most like me anyhow, because I'm me all the time and I'm sick of it.
Ever since I started doing television, I tended to get cast, for the most part, as these strong, intelligent women... Which is wonderful, but very rarely do I get to be the goofy girl that I am.
I'm forever being told that I'm an odd-looking actress, so it's great playing parts where there's no vanity. You just look as rough as you possibly can!
