+ I wasn't
sure where I stood on these matters when I first met with Allison
DuBois, the real-life medium I play on the show. Then I figured it out. Between
rolling and cut, I have to believe 100 percent. In real life, the role has made
me more self-doubting and skeptical of my own belief system. Honestly, I'm not
so sure where I stand.
+ I think I got to work with great filmmakers
because I take risky projects. That's the kind of artist I want to be.
+ I was never trapped by the idea of having to enter what some call my family
business. Yes, we have a huge family of actors known as the Arquettes, but it
wasn't pushed on you to act. It just felt like the natural thing to do.
+ Between "rolling" and "cut" I have to believe 100 percent.
I do believe in this 100 percent. I do believe certain people have this capacity
to do this. But I also 100 percent believe there're a lot of charlatans out there.
+ You obviously have total freedom with a fictional character. Nobody can
go back and say, "They don't talk like that. They don't walk like that. They
don't wear their hair like that." But the positive aspect is that I don't
know how it is to have this ability.
+ To learn the psychic's life, I
spent time with the real Allison
DuBois. The beauty of Allison is she encourages people to be skeptical. She
just hopes they can keep an open mind and simply entertain the idea that anything
is possible.
+ I'm a medium, but it's also about this character being
a soccer mom and having a happy marriage. But she has this macabre, dark and gory
other life that always butts in. But I also love the fact that this medium has
a great marriage on the show.
+ I wanted to play a woman who looks normal.
It's important for me to be real.
