Catherine Keener: Most times when people pitch you as being perfect for a part… they don't look at you as an actor who can transform. A lot of people are so literal.
Catherine: My favorite roles are the ones that I can add a little of my own personality into, If I find that I have nothing in common with the character, I will refuse the role. Maybe the similarity is as minute as we both like to shop! There. A common ground.
Catherine: I am a well-adjusted star, in my opinion. I don't let it go to my head, I focus on the normality of my daily life, and take the big days as they come. My heart is content with my husband and son.
