I Don't Think Of Myself As A

I'm A Character Actress, Plain And Simple... Who Can Worry About A Career? Have A Life. Movie Stars Have Careers - Actors Work, And Then They Don't Work, And Then They Work Again.

After Blood Simple, Everybody Thought I Was From Texas. After Mississippi Burning, Everybody Thought I Was From Mississippi And Uneducated. After Fargo, Everybody's Going To Think I'm From Minnesota, Pregnant, And Have Blonde Hair. I Don't Think You Can Ever Completely Transform Yourself On Film, But If You Do Your Job Well, You Can Make People Believe That You're The Character You're Trying To Be.

It's A Scary Thing Going Into The Workforce With A $50,000 Debt And You've Been Trained As A Classical Theatre Actor. There's Always A Depression In The Theatre.

Not Everything Comes Along Just When You Want It. There Are Times When Choices Just Have To Be Made Or You'll Simply Miss Out.

Certainly, A Lot Of The Films I've Worked On Have Ended Up Good Movies, But They Haven't Always Been The Best Experiences
