I didn't get into acting to have a moment, I got into it because of people who've inspired me, like Judi Dench, Holly Hunter, and Jodie Foster.

If you're not excited by it, why do you do it?

We’re only here briefly. And while I’m here I want to allow myself joy.

I always want to defeat supervillains - it's just the chicken-and-broccoli diet that I'm not into.

I'd love to be a diva. But I'd then have to send so many apology notes for my abhorrent behaviour.

I don't intentionally try to find the scripts with unattractive characters, but I think that if a character is described in a script as heart-stoppingly beautiful, and there's nothing else said about her, it just doesn't hold a lot of interest for me.

I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl.
