The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.

I was offered, within one year, three different witch roles. It was almost like the world was saying - or the studios were saying - 'We don't know what to do with you.'

Now, to see it all together is really quite, quite extraordinary. It's a spectacular museum. I just think Joe (Thompson) has done an amazing job. It's such an inspiring place here, really. It makes you remember why you're alive.

Chris Cooper is one of my favorite actors in the world. I've seen him in most everything he's done.

All an actor has is their blind faith that they are who they say they are today, in any scene.

What does it take to be the first female anything? It takes grit, and it takes grace.
