I had no ambition to become an actor at all.

But for me, personally, I didn't have any ambitions to become an actor. I'm interested in getting behind the camera.

My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

As an actor, it's hard to direct because, suddenly, you're not around. The thing which I hate about directing is the waiting game, but you've really got to wait it out and be resilient and keep it going and keep everybody motivated.

I guess I've played a lot of failures, which is a Huston quality, I guess. I love losers, though, and have never met anyone who hasn't been one sometime. I'm always looking to understand them, and my father had an extremely keen eye to be able to dissect and bring that forward in the way he told his stories.

I've always considered myself a character actor.
