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.

For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.

I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.

I'm not really an actress.

You have actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who have roles specially written for them.

I mean, any time an actress gets to work with another actress, it's like, 'Oh, there are two of us in a movie! How are you? Let's sit in the hair chair together!' We're lonely women.

I think anytime you can do something you haven't seen or done in a film before, it's always a great day as an actor.

Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.

There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.

I was never the ingenue or the pretty girlfriend of Tom Cruise in a movie. I didn't have that career, so I don't have to compete on that level.
