Actually ninety-nine percent of my acting has nothing to do sci-fi or fantasy, I consider it a good part of my acting, and enjoy the roles I play.
I wanted to start with a very small role, to get my feet wet. I'm sure I'm not as good or as experienced as other actresses, but everybody has to start somewhere.
It's good to be busy on a film set because there is a lot of sitting around, so if you've got two roles to play at one time, then that's great to do.
I'm not a republican any more. Not so voraciously anyway - I'm not in favour of the concept of monarchy, but I do see the good in it if there's a good person in the role.
I view my role now as providing more of a macro-level skepticism, rather than saying this poll is good or this poll is evil.
The litmus test for whether I want to take on a role or not is usually fear. If I'm afraid of it, then I want to do it.
In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.
As a kid, I'd go into the bathroom when I was having a tantrum. I'd be in the bathroom crying, studying myself in the mirror. I was preparing for future roles.
I had to audition for the part of Jnior, and I wanted the role terribly because I knew it was a great character. This guy is a wonderful, funny, mean old guy.
The greatest legacy is that which benefits the widest number of people for the longest period without limit to value. No one but the Prophet Muhammad was given that role as the seal of God's message.
In terms of having views and being prepared to express them, yes, I think New Zealand's had a leadership role in a lot of things.
It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
I don't want a Hollywood career. It's wonderful to have the possibility in your life just to win a role in a Clint Eastwood film, and you are the happiest person in the world.
I have no acting technique I act instinctively. That's why I can't play any role that isn't based on something in my life.
My acting career began on the streets of New York. When I was a cop, I played many impressive roles, from derelict to a doctor, and my life often depended on my performance.
Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.
'Shameless' was such a weird time in my life because I never really experienced any kind of role that put me that much in the spotlight before.
I never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast.
I've never really played everyday people. I've played realist roles, but not mere daily life. There was always something incredible happening to my characters.
I would love to be able to play some characters on television that are similar to some of the indie film roles I've done, that have been so close to my heart.
You know it's very important, the role of a mother... I don't know, but it's feminism to me to love your kids.
