I Think It Was A Subject Matter

I Always Feel Like A Doctor Who Loses A Patient On The Operating Table Or Something Where I Felt Just Devastated And I Beat Myself Up Until I Get To Try It The Next Night And “i'll Get It Better Tonight.” So I'm Hard On Myself. I Think I'm Not Alone In That Regard With Acting.

I Trust Other People To Tell Me If It's Too Far Or Tasteless, Because There's Not Too Much That I Won't Do. I Like To Push The Limits. Obviously, That's More Dangerous And More Fun For Everybody.

I Think One Of My Big Skills Is Making Unlikable Characters Likable Or Real In Some Way. No Matter How Hateful People Are, There's Always Something Vulnerable About Them, Or Something That You Can Understand Or Relate To. I Think That's My Job As An Actress - To Find Those.

Comedy Is A Serious Business. It's Frustrating When I Can't Find The Right Thing That Makes The Crew Laugh. If I Don't Make Them Laugh, I Get Very Disappointed In Myself. You Don't Really Have A Live Audience, So You Just Depend On The Crew To Let You Know If You're Doing Something Funny.

Aaron Sorkin Uses A Lot Of The Same People Again And Again - The People He Likes. I Think If There's Ever A Part For Me, He Would Consider Me For It. I Hope So. Sometimes Familiarity Breeds Contempt, Other Times It Helps You. It's Just Amazing To Work With His Scripts. There's Never Any Fat In Them. It's All Perfect, And There's Such A Rhythm To It. The Musicality Of His Writing - It's So Specific And Unique To Him, And Such A Joy To Play As An Actor, Because There's No Sentimentality.
