Am I being typecast as a horrible person? I don't know. I don't think so. But if it happens, I'd rather get to play that, because there's nothing fun about being sweet. Sweet can be so boring, so I'd be happy staying away from that.
I want what's mine. I see other actors who are doing very interesting roles, and I just want to continue to do things that are interesting, and things that people will go see in theaters.
I would want to do a role like the one Ezra Miller had in 'We Need To Talk About Kevin.' That is a real juicy role.
I always look to play flawed characters. I'm not very interested in playing somebody that's just, you know, the very nice one or the attractive one, or whatever, which a lot of female parts can just be written that way.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
I always get cast as the girl who's dying or the girl who's killing or the girl who's suicidal - all these heavy roles. But I like playing them.
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
I don't wish to be seen on television all the time. Instead, I prefer a five-minute appearance in a rare and challenging role for which I can be remembered for the next 50 years.
I have been offered roles in mainstream films which have not been interesting to me. They have been too insignificant.
I'm way more attracted to character stuff and darker roles. It's just my personality, I guess.
I want to be doing smart, fun, complex characters like most actors want to do.
I admire Brad Pitt. He hasn't just done leading-man hunky roles; he's done a lot of edgier things. I like playing people with a dark side.
I don't just want to be a cute girl in a comedy or the actress who just does the same thing over and over again. I want to play roles that are distinct. I want to have a more varied career like actresses Viola Davis or Angela Bassett - those are the people that I grew up watching and admiring.
I've never had any difficulty sharing the screen with any actor. For me, roles are challenging, not co-stars.
I'd like to work more, but I don't just want to do kind of generic characters. I want to do interesting characters, and I'd like to be cast against type.
I hope to do meaningful and different types of roles.
I'm always wishing for more intrigue and meaty stuff to do as an actor.
I have never shied away from experimental roles.
I like interesting casting, and casting people who you think might be slightly different in parts.
I sometimes want to do totally different roles. I don't always want to play 'wholesome.'
I can usually play polarizing characters.
I would be very, very bored doing light little comedies for my entire career.
I've played the wicked mothers; I've played the serial-killer-type mothers now. They have to have an edge on them. They can't just be everyday moms, because I never thought of myself as an everyday person in cinema - I'm an everyday person in real life, like anyone. But not in what I project out there. I want something more exciting.
I may have had some banal roles, but they were never embarrassing.
I won't be satisfied with only commercial roles.
