She believes that while reprising roles is a lucrative business, it is not something that she wants to be defined by. “It’s easiest to do what is most familiar; it’s often the most lucrative thing to do that. But it’s more and more the case, the thing that’s the least satisfying and certainly asks not enough of me,” she further explained her reasoning.
