I think when I first started acting there were different people who I thought, 'I want that person's career or that person's career.' And as time has gone on, it's become really clear to me what is important to me; getting the best roles, the roles that I feel are challenging and scary and that I haven't done yet.
I always wanted to be one of those people who were good at many, many things, but from a very early age, I fell in love with acting.
I started acting when I was 13, so acting has been, with great fortune, my job since I could get a job.
For me, I never, never, from the moment I started acting, had a desire to be famous.
I'm really fascinated by someone who chooses worst-case scenarios as a profession. Someone who obviously thrives on crisis,
What I've realized is that we're our own harshest critics. We give ourselves limitations. But I want to push through that wall, on a creative and personal level.
It's a really ambitious show and that to me is really exciting, ... It's something that really feels like its own, while paying homage to other things.
It was cool to play an empowered woman, one of the most important persons on the planet.
By the time I'm 80, I want to have played almost every role, ... For me, I always gravitate toward the opposite of what I've done. ... That comes from the inner desire to do more.
By the time I'm 80, I want to have played almost every role,
I really love pouring myself into a character for several months and leaving her, ... Pouring myself into someone for a long time is very intimidating to me,
I guess I've always been really attracted to period pieces and always felt visually I was probably more made for the '50s or the early '60s than I am for a modern day.
Yeah, I guess I'm not a particularly religious person, but I do really believe strongly that we all need to believe in something, and that's very personal to each one of us.
One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors, and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.
