There's innate competition, I think, between mothers and daughters - mine no more so than anyone else.

As you get older and you progress in your career, you start to want to have more control over things and you have ideas.

I feel crushingly embarrassed when I do bad work, so being rejected after doing bad work is actually harder than being rejected after doing good work.

I've seen some of my favorite actors give bad performances, and I have to tell myself that failure is a part of success.

In school I really loved Shakespeare, and I participated in a country-wide Shakespeare competition.

Even in success, you're going to be constantly rejected.

Even though I'm on a show that I love with people that I love - I have basically the dream job - that doesn't mean I'm not getting rejected on a daily basis.
