I'm very lucky to be able to do what I love to do, and I hope I can keep doing it for a while.

I was never an ingenue. I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because...

I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.

I hope I look skinnier in 3D. I hope I don't look three times as fat. That'll be disappointing.

I try to always stretch myself to fit the characters that have been presented.

I have always had a problem with my weight.

Every time an Oscar is given out, an agent gets his wings.

I'm not a stunning woman.

Drama comes more naturally to me. It's the comedy you really have to delve into.

I haven't talked much about being an ovarian cancer survivor because I don't really want to define myself that way.
