“I'm constantly humbled.” — Cate Blanchett

The great thing about not being American is that you don't assume you know what a Southern accent sounds like, so you have to be specific.

I think sometimes when you're working consistently in film, and maybe this is just me, but you do feel quite dislocated from your audience.

Obviously, if Woody Allen calls and says he wants you to read a script, of course you read it.

I don't like to reduce a role to fit me. The challenge to me is to expand to it. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. But that's the challenge of it.
