I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange. I'm a bit quirkier than that.

I always knew I'd be more of a character actor than a leading man, and I always wanted to take that and run with it.

I'm a character actress. It doesn't mean I can't do leading roles; I don't think of myself as a leading lady.

I've always thought of myself as a character actor, even though I've played some leading-man roles.

I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.

I think it would be amazing to be a character actor and still be a lead now and then in movies.

I think it's absolutely about time that we have as many female leads as male. It's a very exciting time to be an actress.

Well, I think probably when I first got in the business, I wasn't thinking of being strictly a character actor. But I knew I wanted to be a working actor, and as the years have gone on, I just naturally evolved into that. Because, y'know, I'm not a leading guy. Never was.

Sometimes it's more difficult to exist as a female lead, especially in action movies because all those men are around you. They take so much place.
