The road Cordelia has travelled, the journey she has taken up to now has been such a joy to play as an actress, because there have been so many chances to do so many different emotions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's funny that I got to do 'On the Road' because the thing that had the biggest impact on me growing up was reading books. I was very inspired by the book and this spirit of Dean Moriarty and how envious we all are of somebody who can be that carefree.
The actor's life is the road. Always has been, always will be. That is his cross and his glory.
So it's been kind of a long road, but it was a good journey altogether.
There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.
'The Road' was a movie that has a good reputation, even though it wasn't released very well, but that's a movie I'm very proud of.
'On the Road' is another one of those, a film in which the audience has a very clear idea of who they think your character is, so you know you are asking for it. But that's the challenge.
'Hamlet' is the most famous play in the world for a reason. The journey you go on is incredible.
I think every day there is some new actress comes out and inspires me to do something else... like Hilary Swank. After she did Boys Don't Cry, I felt this yearning to go out and be even half as good as she was.
I've been in showbusiness all my life, but as an actress I have never been overly driven.
My journey has been that of a character actor.
