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 always think a good sports movie is emblematic in the same way that a great Greek tragedy really has a certain kind of structure, or a Shakespearean play if you're looking at a comedy or a tragedy, is that these are the heights and depths of human emotion.
I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person. And there are other parts where you would like to think that you have nothing in common with those characters, but you probably do have more than you think.
My tendency as an actor is, when there's a certain energy, I feel a challenge to match it, to come up to that plate and play on the same level.
I think the scariest thing to me is to think that somebody would only associate me with one character and that that's all that I would get to play.
I generally make a sort of playlist for my iPod for whatever project I'm doing.
You just became the most important person on the planet.
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 was cool to play an empowered woman, one of the most important persons on the planet.
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.
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.
We are all multidimensional and kind of have dual personalities. Everyone puts on different roles depending on what circumstances they're in without even noticing that they do that.
When my friends have a health concern, they call me. I've always been a vitamin taker. I also take digestive enzymes and antioxidants, and supplements that help with the thyroid and adrenals for my time-zone changes.
