Selma Blair

I think it's been confusing for people because I haven't had a linear career.

I'm a working actress able to make choices based on characters rather than what I 'should' do for my career.

The problem with paparazzi is that it makes you question your boundaries, like, how do I say, 'That's enough guys?'

Perhaps I have managed some sort of longevity because I haven't won the lead roles. I don't have the pressure of being a world-famous bombshell that has detonated.

I go from being hugely hopeful and entertaining to... really not. I'm not manic depressive, but I can really go to the darker side.

I will do almost anything for the sake of a joke or for the sake of someone's real belief in something to help tell a story. I will not do something shocking for the sake of being nasty. If it's not hurting anyone's feelings, I'm in on the joke.

I think I'm more approachable with long hair. When it's short, I come across as being artsy and weird.

It's fun to go to the movies and be scared.

I do turn down things that I feel aren't right for me, like when it's some kind of adolescent thing that might typecast me, but I'm not worried about it.

I think I'm under the radar enough where I don't think I'm typecast as anything yet, so I'm pretty free and clear.

I never want to be a showoff or attention getter or something that, truthfully, is kind of repulsive to me, but I get uncomfortable.

I don't have the pressure of being a world-famous bombshell that has detonated.
