I think the reason I'm an actress is because I love playing kind of a more extreme people.

I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.

I became an actor because I enjoy playing a variety of different people rather than playing one person for the rest of my career.

When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted really to be the kind of actress I became.

I always wanted to be an actress. I couldn't imagine being anything else.

I got pigeonholed a bit. When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted to be the kind of actress I became.

I always wanted to be an actress. And it wasn't ego. I felt so little about myself, considered myself such a sparrow. Not just my size. I thought I was so plain... I did plays not to show off but because if I did that - I didn't realize it at the time - I would be somebody other than this person I didn't really approve of.

Not to get overly psychological about this, but it's probably why I became an actress in the first place: for that kind of freedom and refuge, as well as for the fact that I just love acting so much.

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.
