But now I look back and I realize that I really came later in life to a kind of career. I was somewhat typecast as suburban "mom" type roles early on. Because I'd walk in and look a certain way, then open my mouth and have this So I think I sort of grew into my voice, my face, my body as I got older. I think most people see me as much darker, more serious and possessing a certain gravitas, when I'm really quite insane.
I guess I want everyone to see my insanity. I have a far more nutty and unpredictable side. I go where I need to go. If I need to look glamorous or spiffy or young, or battling cancer, or a drugged-out and hippie type, it hopefully will be projected in my face.
That's the beauty of acting: hopefully it comes through. It's not about hair and makeup, a different color of hair. It's about being malleable. I just always hope it's going to work because you never know.
I've dated several men with motorcycles. I would like to say I've dated several poet laureates, but no. I've dated several men with fucking motorcycles. Motorcycles make me love a man more. Roger Ebert praised the performances in the former, noting: "The actors [in Wendigo ] have an unforced, natural quality that looks easy but is hard to do.
In , Clarkson was cast in a supporting role in Todd Haynes 's period drama Far from Heaven , opposite Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid , playing the neighbor of a repressed housewife in the s.

Says Peary, "She agreed to do the narration And she was so nice, and so cooperative, and so prepared, and so intelligent. And one of the key reasons she wanted to do the movie was that she regularly reads criticism, and has a genuine respect for film criticism. In , Clarkson appeared opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the Martin Scorsese -directed thriller Shutter Island , playing a woman escaped from a psychiatric institution.
Recounting being cast in the part, Clarkson said: "I got the call that every actor lives for. I think I was in my underwear or pajamas. It's a call you live for. His late father, Nicolas, long planned to film Night Train. It premiered at the Toronto film festival. Then I started to realise the unusual disparate worlds I was in. This very grounded, unadorned, monosyllabic, insular woman, with astrophysics, the cosmos, existentialism and Martin Amis! Going straight from Adora to Mike, Clarkson had to pare down in every sense.
And I loved it. It was such a seismic shift as an actress, and as a woman — just to walk in every day and put on those heavy, thick-soled boots.
Though I never thought of Mike as masculine; I think of her as not feminine in the traditional way. When I speak to Morley, she says that Clarkson can easily carry a film. I hope that she gets many more leading roles. That kind of depth of voice. And the way that, with all her characters, she brings such a complexity and depth — that word again — because there is such a depth to her. To be able to work within those restrictions is amazing. That was so important for the film. This remarkable, one-of-a-kind actress has, since the early s, intrigued film and TV audiences with her glowing, yet careworn eccentricity and old world-styled glamour.
