You're either a really good hooker or a really good mom. That kind of conflicted nature is very much a part of being a woman.

The fabric of my life is under my skin; [but] it's definitely not something that comes up in a conscious way when I read material. I have an incredible relationship with my mom, so I'm fascinated by mothers who do not have that. But I've never done anything that resembled my life. People always jump to that conclusion, and I wish life were that simple, but it's not.

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 don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.

I think more than anything, people just want to be understood.

I think there is a great quote - and I feel horrible that I don't know who said this - but it was a great quote, it says, "The only difference between all of us are the ones who are loved and the ones who are not."

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.
