I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.

I never take that for granted, but I'm always very aware that I'm one person and I can't wear everything.

Remember I came to Albuquerque to do a hair and makeup test and wardrobe fitting; you guys were already shooting. It's tough when the movie's already started and you kind of show up. You're the new kid on the block. I walked onto the set and Tommy [Lee Jones] was about to do the scene. I just kind of walked up to him. I was shaking, but I just gave him this big hug and he just had nothing to say. He was like, 'Gotta go to work now.' I had a great time working with him."

I feel 100% sure that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking.

I'm very attracted to characters who don't necessarily make it easy to be loved.

I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life, it's actually very contained.

Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.
