It's never easy with characters in these dark and grave circumstances but that's my job.

Being married and having a child was not something I wanted, and I knew that at a very young age. I tend to be more solitary, and I'm truly a free spirit.

The odds of having films made which star women... Everyone still references one movie: 'Bridesmaids!'

There are still so many movies made starring 50 men and one woman! A white male actor should never be allowed to complain about anything. Shut up and sit in the corner. I mean, seriously!

I've done two Shakespeare tragedies, so I'd desperately like to do comedy. It would be nice not to die.

I was taught by a lot of great comedy writers to go for the reality in a role, and the comedy will come through.

I have found that so many directors and producers in the room say nothing, and this can be deadly. It's very difficult to audition for comedy in the vacuum of a small room, but it's the only way most do it.

If I can make a teacher's salary doing comedy, I think that's better than being a teacher.
