I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of the enemy of Harry. Actually it is really fun playing the bad kid because it just has so many interesting qualities to it. And Daniel Radcliffe and I get along really well off set so it’s really fun filming.

I did a bit of modeling before I took up acting, and I was up for this big campaign – I can’t remember which designer – and all these execs were looking at my portfolio. Then one said: ‘We’d like to use you, but can you come back next year when you’ve lost this.’ And he tapped the underside of his chin.

That’s what the Doctor (Doctor Who (2005)) is about, essentially – having that energy that you just can’t understand.

[re late start in movies] I don’t know that I would have been a Hollywood ingénue. But the roles that are available as a 30-something-year-old woman are so much more interesting. And this all kind of happened when I already had found my husband, our family was on its way – I found out that I got World War Z (2013) while at Babies “R” Us getting diapers.

[compraing her portrayal of Supergirl to Melissa Benoist’s, on Supergirl (2015)] My version was much more of a child and was kind of bratty. But now I love what they’ve done, she’s much more a mature person who is learning as she goes and she doesn’t have it all together yet while she’s saving the day and discovering her own strength. This is the Supergirl I wanted to see all along.

Sci-fi sheds light on what’s going on in society, albeit in a kind of fantastical world. It is resonant with what’s actually happening, but I think people overlook it because it’s not very on-the-nose.

[on ‘Friends’] It was so surprising to us how invested the audience was in these characters, how desperately they wanted them to be happy, how putting them together made some kind of weird sense.

[when ‘Friends’ was canceled] We did not want to go out on the bottom. We wanted to feel more like it was time for your child to go to college, not die.

When stress piles up and all the darts are coming at me at once…it’s great to cry. Crying is like, Okay, I’ve had my drama. Time to move on. – quoted in Woman’s World – 7-12-05

When you’re a mom to three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I’ve got other things to deal with. – on the rigors of fam

I was always looking to be entertained. We lead such full lives and a lot of us don’t lead very pleasant lives and don’t like what we do… My dad worked his whole life as a salesman and that wasn’t what he really wanted to do. He looked forward to two weeks vacation every year and he used to say to me, ‘Whatever you do, make sure you do something you really like so you don’t just have your vacation to look forward to.’ And I love movies.

We’ve always actually been remarkably commercially successful. Not in terms of making huge amounts of money, which we rarely do, but in terms of not losing money and making modest amounts of money. We’re actually strangely consistent in that respect. We’ve been able to keep making movies because of that and also because, strangely, we’ve had studio patrons, starting from Barry Diller. Sometimes they’re establishment people who know they’re not going to make huge amounts of money, but they like your movies. They’re moviegoers, too.
