I think I try to look at all my films and break them down because, at the end of the day, it's about creating characters that you like.

When you have a movie, you know who they start out as and where they go. But this is constantly changing, and you're growing with the character.

When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.

I like movies about people and movies with characters; that's what I'm drawn to as a person who likes to create these characters within the story, but I like it all, really.

I think I'm a character actress at heart, and I think my work is character work for the most part. I'm not the lead of any films - which is not to say that I wouldn't ever want to be; it is just to say that hasn't been my path.

I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.

My characters always start well in movies. Almost every movie I've done starts with a happy marriage, it's all beautiful, wealthy, whatever... and then of course my husband leaves me, and everything falls apart.

Well, the thing about great fictional characters from literature, and the reason that they're constantly turned into characters in movies, is that they completely speak to what makes people human.

I happen to still like really dark, dramatic, fractured characters. They're the reason I got into movies.

I'm primarily a character actress.
