- [on becoming in her 40s] I never imagined that I'd turn 40, Even now, I still can't believe my own age.
- [on playing different, new characters] Rather than a role that looks pretty or lovely, I choose a work based on how interesting it is to me. I don't worry about how my image will change by playing a certain character.
- [on overcoming her struggles] It would be a lie to say I've been happy all my acting life. I have had struggles and sometimes things didn't work out the way I planned to.
- When I got the script for 'Art of Seduction (2005)', I realized I'd never been in a comedy, so I decided to experiment. What the character went through could never happen in my own life.
- I'm able to look the person acting across from me and respond to that. There are times when it becomes so lonely and painful, but I think I'm able to overcome them because I realize that the more fiercely you prepare for a role, the more the audience can feel it
