Quotes about: Character

• The thing that I've run up against is that it's always been an either-or proposition, especially in Hollywood.

• I was never an ingenue. I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.
