“Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It's very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.”

“Directors don't call you for your beauty but for your talent.”

“I like comedies, I like thrillers, I like love stories. Everything is beautiful; it depends if the film is good, who cares? Everything is interesting.”

“I've worn costumes all my life. I'm a theatre actress, you know. That's what I do for a living. I dress up, I wear makeup, I make a fool of myself.”

“I was always pretty ambitious, although it probably helps that I can't do anything else - apart from cleaning lavatories. But I remember my mum once said, 'I suppose you'll give it a year and see if you can make it as an actress?' And I said, 'No Mum, I think I'll give it 10.'”

“I don't want what Shaun Cassidy gets. I am a serious actress.”
