I think, as an actress, whether you want to or not, whether you're ready for it or not, people are going to look at what you're doing, and they are going to look up to you, and it's not even really about you; it's who you portray on the screen.

You know what's the worst part about being an actress? It's the pressure to look gorgeous all the time and to behave perfectly. But I'm not perfect; nobody is.

Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them?

I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.

As an actor, you have to understand how you are seen and then play with that. Otherwise, my looks are not important.

There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.

I'm forever being told that I'm an odd-looking actress, so it's great playing parts where there's no vanity. You just look as rough as you possibly can!

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