I don't really know if I'm writing the kind of roles that Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore would play. Jessica Lange on 'American Horror Story' is a little bit more my cup of tea.
I can't be an arm candy to the hero. I need to play characters that have layers, that people can relate to.
There are so many characters I want to play. I'm greedy about acting.
Growing up I was a total movie-holic, but I always wanted to play the role that Clark Gable was playing or Spencer Tracy was playing. I was really never interested in the parts that women were playing. I found the parts that guys were playing were so much more interesting.
I always seem to love the shows with cops. I really want to play a cop - I want a badge and a gun. I'd love to do a guest spot on 'Breaking Bad' or 'Castle.' I think 'Once Upon a Time' is a great time. Fun stuff. I like to have fun with characters.
The kind of films and roles I do were never in competition with any star kid. Their aspirations are completely different.
As an actor, you always have aspirations to play different roles.
I want to play interesting women.
People say, 'Oh, you do theater!' And I say, 'Honey, I do theater to get better TV and film roles.'
