Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Alberta: It's funny - I'm getting older and I'm getting more work. It makes me happy that I'm at an age now where doors would start to close, but they're starting to open. I'm playing some interesting women.
-
Alberta: I like difficult subject matters. When you're trying to find a character, you find yourself looking under a lot of rocks.
-
Alberta (on Madeline): She's like a cyborg. She gets her job done no matter what she has to do. Her outward approach is civil and respectful, but she wouldn't think twice about ripping someone's heart out.
