I'm not a fan of justifying bad behavior or justifying why people are the way they are. I think that's a cop out. I don't have a lot of empathy for that.

Actors - we're selfish, but we can't think about the work in that kind of selfish manner. I think that you have to step away from yourself, if you're going to do it. Otherwise don't do it; otherwise why do it?

I try to hang on to as much mystery as possible. How can we go through our lives not wanting to have any element of surprise?’

I do this because I'm an observer of people. That's why I want to be an actor. I'm fascinated by human beings and the circumstances they find themselves in.

I guess because I pay so much attention to the physical part of the character, I don't look upon it as like Charlize Theron up there. I don't think of them as like Charlize Theron films.

I think that women find their strength and power in their sexuality, in their sensuality within, [through] getting older and being secure within that.

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.
