I like to play strong women.

Conflict is always fun to play.

I am terrified of submarines.

I gain a lot of confidence through study.

I relate to Nora's transformation in Henrik Ibsen's 'A Doll's House,' and I also relate to both sisters' journeys in John Madden's film 'Proof.'

I love food and am very good at improvising when preparing it - it's a really creative experience for me.

I like playing smart women very, very much because I definitely learn from them.

I love to act because I love trying on other people's skin.

I love to simplify and edit the contents of just about anything, but women's closets hold particular appeal to me. I edit mine about four times a year and hold a yearly 'clothing swap' to encourage my girlfriends to do the same.

Oh my gosh, I would love to guest star on 'Entourage.'
