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

For years while I was working as a waitress, all I wanted to do was get on a TV show. You think, "This will solve all the problems. I'm making more than 400 dollars a week; I don't have to worry about money ever again," but it's just not true.

The thing I'd miss most is the feeling when acting is going well, when you start a play and you end the night and you look back and go, "What just happened?"

I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.

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

If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.

Being an actor is definitely not the hardest job in the world - it's definitely a first-world problem to have, but I'm not very good with rejection. I constantly question whether or not I'm suited for this business, because it is your job to get rejected.
