Things are changing. I've been training since I was 9 years old to stretch my wings as an actor dramatically, but have never really been afforded the opportunity to show that.
I really like people who can do both drama and comedy and not some like middle of the road do both drama and comedy. I'm not talking about some guy who does these bland dramedies all the time. I'm talking about people that have done heavy drama and who have done heavy comedy.
I've always just admired women who were able to navigate through dramatic and comedic waters and sort of do it all.
I've worked with some actors who can't act.
An actor who is good at comedy can also be very good at drama, but not necessarily vice versa.
I think the lawyers are such incredible actors. Can you imagine the performance they have to do every day?
I know so many people who are so much better at it than I am, and I think I'm a goofier person rather than a serious, dramatic actress, so I probably belong in comedy.
There are certain actors who are very good at improvising, like Dustin Hoffman and Glenda Jackson.
