Sometimes women get devastated by failing. Athletes don't; they just know that means they've got to practise harder, and they've got to do something else differently.

I don't want to be normal. I want to be something else.

I think the universe is just so big that there has to be something else out there.

You have an idea of the way you think it is, and it's not that way at all, it's something else.

Sitcoms are incredibly limiting. When you do a sitcom and it becomes a signature part for you, it's harder to do something else; but if you do a drama, you can get lost in it and have a role to do other things.

Sometimes I think about retiring but not stopping work. Just 're-tiring' - put on some new tires and go on to do something else.
