The Bad Teacher actress confessed that she has no desire to take on a leading role, stating that she likes to play smaller parts instead, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"I'm sure my agents would like me to play leading roles, and I guess I should, but I'm more interested in the character parts. They're more fun, challenging and interesting," Punch said.
"The actors I admire, like Ben Kingsley or Daniel Day-Lewis, they totally reinvent themselves in every part. I hope I get a chance to do that."
In March, the 33-year-old described her role in director Woody Allen's film You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger as a dream come true, claiming that she never gave up on the part even when she was initially passed over for Nicole Kidman.
Punch recently joined the cast of the FX drama pilot Powers to play homicide detective Deena Pilgrim.
