I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. You know, except for the whole hooker thing.

The psych up comes from knowing what I can both give and get from each role. I get a lot personally from each character I play that I am able to carry over into my everyday life.

You wouldn't recognize me from one project to the next.

I hate it [driving] more than anything in the whole world. I'm just an awful, awful driver. I get lost, I hit things (parked cars, one moving car, a pole in my parking garage). Just when I think I got everything under control, I'll miss seeing something out of the corner of my mirror.

I have no interest whatsoever in being a high-fashion model, nor is it possible

I'm not small, I'm space-efficient.

I went on a children's roller coaster once when I was maybe 12-or some age when I was considered a little old to be on a kiddy ride. Absolutely terrified. Thought I was going to die.

I didn't want to start acting like a cartoon

You know, we have to take these characters - who, granted, have their separate personalities but, on a lot of levels, are pretty two-dimensional - and make them into people with flaws, with insecurities.

I think I'm a million different faces

When I came into the business, things changed a lot, and my life was in a real state of flux.
