It was an excellent job, ... I like the idea of playing a 42-year-old woman -- actually, 41, I was 41 last year -- who was pregnant and has to face it.

Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.

There's only two givens with choosing acting as a profession: one is you will always be unemployed, always, and it doesn't matter how much money you make, you're still always going to be unemployed; and that you have no power.

It's a scary thing going into the workforce with a $50,000 debt and you've been trained as a classical theatre actor. There's always a depression in the theatre.

Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

Certainly, a lot of the films I've worked on have ended up good movies, but they haven't always been the best experiences.
