I've been recognized very seldom. I think I just look different in person than I do as the character.

I try not to identify too strongly with any of my characters. I like to stand back and see them objectively. I think this is why I often use boys instead of girls, just in case I get too close and lose the overall picture.

I think people throughout the world identify with my characters.

I've always felt that almost every part I've played has been a character part. I mean, I look at it that way. I can't help how I look or how I seem to people.

I don't mind being identified as any character as long as I'm doing a good job as an actor. I have done all kinds of roles - from an editor, judge, police officer, murderer to a corrupt businessman.

I am one of the few actresses who isn't recognized by the way she looks. I'm recognized by the way I talk.

I do have characters who are more well known than I am, which suits me fine.

The less you know about me, the easier it is to convince you that I am that character on screen.

Well, I always try to look at my characters as being better than I am. That's one of the reasons I guess I became an actor - because you get to create a persona that's bigger or better or more interesting than your own.

I'll instinctively know that I identify with a character.
