I have always chosen to portray roles which inspired me and mostly that I enjoy it in the first place.
Initially, women only had to portray married wife roles on TV, but now there are show that are offering other roles to portray for women. Earlier, all drama used to revolve only around married women, which is not the case now. Even the male actors have a good opportunity for better roles now.
I don't pick my roles based on what clothes I have to wear. I pick roles because of the character I have to portray, and the public have enjoyed seeing me in those roles.
I'm always looking for roles to challenge me and ones which I'll enjoy playing.
I think Splash made people realize that I was still alive, and I think I inspired a lot of people. I have people coming up to me all the time in the airport saying, "Hey, you inspired me to learn how to swim!" "You inspired me to start moving around more." "You inspired me to start doing more for myself." So that was good. But mostly I took it because nobody had given me a job. And you know what really matters in life, right?
Most of my popular movies have seen me cast in serious roles. But then I am mostly offered such roles.
For me, I've always wanted to portray roles that are empowering. Also, being empowering doesn't necessarily mean being strong all the time.
Whenever you have a proclamation of being chosen, it's always a self-defining process. It's always the people who are chosen who say they are chosen. They never say that about the other. If you're going to say, "I'm chosen," it loads you with a very heavy burden.
There is no violent surface indication of the ecstasy which great thinkers alone enjoy. There is nothing dramatic about it, but there is some subtle light in the eye of the inspired one, or some even more subtle quiet emanation which surrounds the inspired thinker, which tells you that you are in the presence of one who has bridged the gap which separates the mundane world from the world of spirit.
The media chooses to portray the most extreme and violent aspects of a place. I do the opposite and portray the normality.
The relationship to the director is becoming more crucial to me, making sure there are some common goals. I haven't been in the kind of position where my roles have been chosen for me, where someone says, "First we'll do this and then we'll do this," and it's all part of some master plan.
Till now I have mostly done the glam roles. But I do look forward to work for films which will give me more scope to perform as an actor.
I have played many negative roles in films, and television gives me an opportunity to break through this image and portray another side to me.
If you look at my career graph, I have always chosen roles that are performance-oriented.
I have always chosen roles that I believed in - not ones that I thought might further my career.
Doing 'Life Without Makeup' onstage is what inspired me to do a book in the first place.
Pristine vulnerability is just so boring to me. The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowland's in 'A Woman Under the Influence,' where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It's that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven't always had the opportunity to do them.
