I'm a journeyman actor.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

I've been working steadily as an actor since around 1998. I wasn't well known in the public, but I was a dependable working journeyman.

There are actors who are really fantastically talented at being natural on screen and appearing to be themselves, but I like the challenge of becoming somebody else.

I think of myself as an actor.

I've never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality.

Marlon Brando. The finest actor who ever lived. He was my idol when I was 13. He's done enough work to last two lifetimes. Everything I do, I think: Can Brando play this with me?

There's no one actor in particular that I want to model my career after, except for the people who have been able to keep their career varied and who choose things that interest them. That opportunity is all I really want.

I don't really like to work with actors that work a lot and are very well established already. In a way, I like to nurture talent and have it burst on the scene.

I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything.
