i never care that [my characters] are 'strong'. i never care that they're even affirmative. i look for that thing that's human and recognizable and emotional. you know, we're not perfect, we're not heroic, we're not in control. we're our own worst enemies sometimes, we cause our own tragedies ... that's the stuff that i think is really compelling.

— julianne explaining why she is drawn to playing troubled women.
