I was a lifeguard. It was my summer job growing up, and I never saved anyone. I never had to, thank goodness.

Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.

Strength and independence are always something that I'm drawn to in all my characters, no matter how different they are from one another.

Im not the kind of person to just sit back and lose something I worked hard on, so, naturally, Ive taken steps to be further involved in a process when most actors arent.

I approach all of my movies with an open mind and a willingness to dive in and do what's asked of me.

For as long as I can remember, I've been the kind of person who goes against the grain and questions authority, and that doesn't make for an ideal religious follower.

My favorite go-to modeling move was called "Be hungry." That was it. You just stand there, and be hungry. And that's all I have to say about the modeling industry.
