The illusion of perfection is an illusion anyway.

I was the dork in high school who sang musical numbers up and down the hallways.

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.

I was a pretty scrappy, tough kid; I got in all sorts of fights at school. I defended myself - boys didn't mess with me. But as one of seven children, you have to fight for everything anyway.

I always have directors who are somewhat frustrated because they'll reference a beautifully obscure film from the '50s or '60s or '70s, and I've not seen it.

I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.

I find that in life all you can do is try to be honest about who you are and how you're feeling, and trust that it will be received in the correct way.
