I'm a greedy actor, craving for exciting parts to play.
The most exciting acting tends to happen in roles you never thought you could play.
Man, it's hard to beat having gotten to play Superman. But where do you go from there? Aren't careers supposed to culminate in a role like that? And because I'm a big fat geek, as long as there's stuff I'm excited about - and isn't that really the definition of geek? - there'll always be roles I'd love to play.
I love villainous characters; they are so exciting to play. They are so different and challenging.
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 always look forward to roles that excite me as an actor.
I love characters that are very layered and complex. It's more exciting and different than any simple role- plus, I love a good challenge.
I would love to do some crazy action or even a real romantic comedy. I think that would be really exciting.
I now want to be playing parts more interesting to me and more exciting to me.
The nature of the business is that, once you start proving yourself and the more roles you get, the more exciting the roles that you're able to go out and do auditions for, or that you're being offered, get. You have more choices.
I'm certainly not on a mission to be taken seriously as a dramatic actress, any more than I am just to be able to get roles that are exciting and satisfying to me. If that means action, then that means action.
