Like anything else, acting can become boring - a chore, really - if there isn't any challenge. And I like taking challenges. Just when people think they have me figured out, I like to surprise them.

It's really fun to act like a bimbo. But it's fun to act like a bimbo only when people know that you really aren't one.

Having egregious divorces - where you just hate each other - is really the easy way out.

We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that.

What I consider a good part for a woman and what some other Hollywood people think are good women's parts are very different. I don't want to play the supportive girlfriend who has nine scenes and just loves that man, maybe cheats on him in one scene but will always be there, and I mean - give me a break.

I like to play people who are deeply flawed, and I want to find the good nature in them. I even try to be kind to myself when I've made big mistakes.
