I've Had A Career Where I've Bounced

I Didn't Tell Anybody [had Got A Role At As Good As It Gets], Because I Was Just Going, "well, That Was The Strangest Audition..." And I Just Thought, "there's No Way He Gave Me The Job On The Spot When There Was A Room Full Of Other Girls Waiting To Audition For It." But Then I Didn't Hear Anything For A Couple Of Days, So I Finally Called My Agents, And They're, Like, "oh, Yeah, Congratulations! We Know Jim [l.brooks] Told You In The Room That You Got It."

I Love Doing Action Films That Do Challenge Me Physically. I Feel It's My Job To Keep My Stamina Up And Be As Physically Fit As Possible, So That I Can Just Jump In And Do It. It Takes Its Toll Sometimes And It's Hard Work, But I Love That.

[ Angel Series] Really Taught Me That Acting Is Not Just About Being Emotionally Challenged. It's About Being Physically Challenged. And I Enjoyed Both Aspects Of That.

You Don't Realize How Much A Part Of Your Character Is Part Of Yourself Until You Are No Longer Playing That Character.

I Didn't Really Know Who [dario Argento] Was At The Time. I Know Him Now, Obviously. But I Went In To Be An Extra On The Movie [two Evil Eyes], And He Saw Me Sitting Out Waiting To Meet The Casting Director, And He Pulled My Mother And I Into A Separate Conference Room.
