Amy Ryan

Amy: (on the differences between film and theater) Well, I think theater is a great education. Theater is a story told with language; and movies, obviously, with pictures. So theater is also a lot of training on your feet - you have to learn to trust your instincts because, really, it's you without a safety net. You can't do it again. You do mess up from time to time, and you go, "Well, at least I can go back there tomorrow night to try to redeem myself." Right now, enjoying film is very new to me, and I feel quite enamored by it. And I'm enjoying telling stories in a shorter amount of time, and moving on to another story and being another person.

Amy: (on playing a character on "The Office") It's a funny thing to enter a show that you're a great fan of - and it's nice to tell lighter stories. I love the dark, grittier side of life, but it's nice to take a break from that, put a skirt on and brush your hair.

Amy: (on whether she found her character in "Gone, Baby, Gone" disturbing to play) Not disturbing to play. Thrilling to play. Disturbing to watch. Disturbing to read about in book form or script form, but as an actor, thrilling to play because it's so complicated. It's not just a bad guy. It's a good guy who makes really, really bad choices, you know.
