I hope my talent has something to do with it. I just think this business is so crazy. I obviously do the best I can, and the directors I admire see something in me. But this is a strange business, and there are people who are incredibly talented who never make it, who never get these opportunities. So that's why I say I'm lucky. I don't feel that I'm not talented - I think I am talented - but I also think I'm very lucky.
I don't need a reason to kill myself-I need a reason not to.
I could never play the ingenue, the girl next door or the very successful young doctor. That would be a bore.
I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in and not just casually observe.
