wind gone dressers
I had a dresser who literally squeezed me in like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.
venues knows
I don't like public venues. I never know what to wear.
negative connotation
Diva has a negative connotation.
differences one-day thrill
As far as the difference for me between television and movies, I really thrill to the pace of television. As exhausting as it can be - there was actually one day when we never went to bed.
ego suffering fool
With the hugely talented women I've worked with or observed, it's not a question about temperament or ego; it's a question about getting it right. If they've got a reputation for being difficult it's usually because they just don't suffer fools.

I had a great time on The Shield. From working on it I have a totally different view of law enforcement.
funny humorous acting
Celebrity is death - celebrity - that's the worst thing that can happen to an actor.
philosophy winning simple
I've distilled everything to one simple principle: win or die!
book thinking wife
I knew the term Stepford Wife, and I knew what that meant. I never read the book, and I think before I started filming I watched the movie. I thought it was very dated.
challenges mouths four
So you have the challenge of just learning the lines, period, and not only learning them, but learning them to the extent that you assimilate them, so that you're not worried about what the next word is coming out of your mouth when it comes to doing a scene. And you're also in the trenches with the writers, just in the wonderful kind of back and forth of how is it best to say something, even if it involves four or five words. I love that kind of thing.
voice path insight
Be aware of your inner voice and follow it, even though most of the time it will tell you the most uncomfortable path to choose.
independent film made
I've always felt that an independent film is a film that almost doesn't get made.
house wealth connecticut
There are a lot of big spec houses now all across Connecticut, a lot of ostentatious showing of wealth.
people want situation
It's not good to be in a situation where people don't want to direct you or don't want to question something.
