Quotes
 I try not to take myself too seriously, but I do take my work seriously. I want to do so much more, not huge budget films necessarily, but I just want to play different parts and I only want to do the stuff that I want to do. I don`t want to work just for the sake of working. Generally, if a good script comes in I read it and if it appeals to me, it appeals to me. And it doesn`t have to be anything -- it doesn`t have to be the main character, it doesn`t have to be a huge part. It could be a nice cameo -- anything that I think is good and surrounded by good, enthusiastic people.

Trivia
In 2000, she settled a libel action against the Mirror Newspaper Group of Dublin in Ireland, following the publication of a 1999 press article that erroneously claimed she had appeared nude or partially nude on screen. Before the case was due to get underway, a settlement was agreed and Edward Walsh for the Irish Mirror read an apology to the High Court, saying that it was quite untrue that she had ever appeared nude or partially nude in her film roles. He also stated that it is a well-known fact that throughout her career she has always adamantly refused to participate in scenes involving nudity, and that this refusal has cost her the loss of many lucrative roles. The Irish Mirror paid damages, although the actual amount is unknown. Miss Doody told the media that she was quite happy that it was over, and that her good name had been vindicated.
