The thing is, my appearance – that’s never been my moneymaker. I’m fine being small. I’m fine being all the things I am. And I’m happy I’m not supposed to be on the 50 Most Beautiful list all the time, because that would be super f**king stressful.

I like figuring out where I need to be mentally so that I'm not thinking about the camera and that it's second nature. I want to get to a place where I can exist within the confines of what you can do with filmmaking and not have to think about it.

I happen to be a huge 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I do an annual marathon of the extended editions.

I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if I got steak when I'd ordered fish.

I think there are rock stars within every subgenre, and for people who are obsessed with musical theater Sutton Foster and Audra MacDonald are like Beyonce to them. I'm sure the a cappella world has their own version of that, and that exists in every geeky subculture.

When you first saw 'The Truman Show,' did anyone else walk around for the next week not picking your nose just in case?

I remember hearing once that good girls don't get caught. I think that's sort of a lot of what my teen years were like.
