Frances McDormand

It's much easier to play supporting roles because that's what I do in my life: I support my son.

I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
