I'm a character actress.

I was always a character actress.

I'm primarily a character actress.

I didn't decide to be a character actress.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

I feel like a character actress - it's where I'm comfortable.

I was very much a character actress. But I've never stopped doing theater.

I'm not a personality actress. I never have been. I have been a character actress.

I often feel like a character actress trapped inside the mean, aging Barbie's body.

In my heart of hearts, I'm a character actress, whereas other people play their one strength.

I suppose I'm what you'd called a character actress, so, often, my characters are quite extreme.

I don't think of myself as a character actress - that's become a phrase which means you've had it.

I'd hate to lose the character actress part of me, because, by God, the parts are much more interesting.

I think I'm a character actress in a leading lady's body, but the industry doesn't really see me that way.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.

I am a character actress. Well, let's say, I am a leading character actress who does interesting, odd parts.

I'm a character actress. It doesn't mean I can't do leading roles; I don't think of myself as a leading lady.

You could say I'm a character actress. Or maybe a character actress who does peculiar, interesting lead roles.

I'm looking forward to becoming a marvelous - excuse the word marvelous - character actress. like Marie Dressler, like Will Rogers.

You could say I'm a character actress. Or maybe a character actress who does peculiar, interesting lead roles. Does that make sense?

I'm a character actress. I'm the girl next door, the aunt, the quirky cousin. You have to innately know who you are and be happy with that.

I'm a character actress, and my particular brand is more mature, so I had to wait until my age caught up with the tricks in my little arsenal.

I've been a character actress right from the beginning. I was no more like 'Cinderella' in my real life than I was like the neurotic poet in 'Cop.'

Oh, I just love being a character actress. You have a lot of fun, and not only that, you save tons on cosmetic surgery because you never have to have liposuction.

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

I was always a character actress, even when I was an ingenue. But as you age, people know what to do with you, and you're not quite as dependent on maintaining leading-lady beauty.

I've been many people. I've been the skinny girl. I've been the fat girl. Because I've become a character actress, I sort of fell victim to 'Well, I don't have to look good anymore.'

I always played the ugly sister instead of Cinderella or the Wicked Witch. But those are the parts I love, and actually, to be a character actress, you have more longevity, hopefully.

I'm a character actress, and I've done a lot of different shows, but 'Gilmore Girls' is the one that I'm stopped in the mall, in the restaurant, and that I'm recognized for. I'm so touched by it.

I love that I'm a character actress and get to do so many different and interesting roles. There's really no reason that I can't continue on forever, because I've never been typecast as one thing.

I had no desire to be a star. I wanted to be a character actress and be able to do all kinds of parts and work on a lot of things. That was my unconscious choice. I wanted to be an undercover actress.

I never pictured myself in California. I just thought I would be a character actress in New York on the stage. I never really had that stardom goal; I just wanted to be able to work as an actress and not as a waitress.

I think I'm a character actress at heart, and I think my work is character work for the most part. I'm not the lead of any films - which is not to say that I wouldn't ever want to be; it is just to say that hasn't been my path.

I had a very hard time accepting myself as a character actress because I wanted to be glamorous and a leading lady like everybody else. I looked in the mirror and thought I looked pretty good, but casting didn't ever see me that way.

I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better.

I think of myself as a character actress, and Karen's just one of the characters I've gotten to play, but I feel like Karen takes on so much more weight because the show was on for eight seasons, and it was such a popular show. But you have to move on to telling another story in a different world.

I'm just glad that I'm the musical equivalent of a character actress, because blues singers can keep singing and having an audience at 35, and someone like Madonna's gonna have to find something else to do, 'cos I don't care how pointy those bras are that she wears, they're still gonna look a little odd when she's 55!
