I did a film called The Jesuit, which was an independent film. I did that shortly after Mistresses. I was still feeling soft and I was nursing, but it was a character I’d never played before. That was a Paul Schrader script, with an up-and-coming Mexican director, named Alfonso Ulloa. That has Tim Roth and Paz Vega in it, and I enjoyed that, as well.

I did short film with Damian Lewis from Homeland, that was a really incredible experience. He’s one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with. Even though that’s a short film for Jaguar that’s really, in essence, a commercial, it didn’t feel like it, at all.

I was always interested in doing it, but I was so content with my life that I didn’t really go after it.

I was more wishy-washy in the first 12 years of my career, just because that was my personality.

I was very soft. I gained a lot of weight with my second child and was very on the couch. And [my manager] said, “You know, this is a softer role [in Misteress]. She is a softer character. She’s a lesbian that’s always the passive half of the relationship.”
