I loved music before I stumbled onto acting.
There is more for women in terms of character roles now. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith have constantly changed over the years and challenged themselves with different roles. That's impressive.
I started out as a dancer, but gradually became more interested in music.
Go find very early versions of things: the first TV pilot of a later-successful TV show; early audition tapes by famous actors; early demos by famous musicians. Focus on these early examples, not what they became over the next 20 years. Remember that what you're doing will constantly improve.
I think that at one moment you're apt for one thing, and at the next moment you're apt for something else.
Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.
I would never tie in creative with a talent's contract. To me, that is insanity. Creative needs change, talents evolve or not, and to be locked in to a talent having the ability to not run the plays that the team dictates is not smart business.
I didn't even ski halfpipe until I was 14 because the resort where I lived didn't have one. So it wasn't always my favorite event, but I grew into it.
I think the more I learn, the more I see, and what you see makes your eyes and talent evolve.
Any actor worth his salt has a responsibility to reinvent himself from part to part.
Early genius, like early cabbage, does not head well.
I was this extremely dramatic actress. And then, suddenly, I was doing comedy.
I think it's exciting to see actors do new things.
We always love actors taking unexpected turns.
I don't subscribe to the view that talent is deteriorating. I think every generation is brighter than their previous generation.
Precocious talents mature slowly if at all.
My biggest goal is to keep playing characters that challenge me.
