I think I've had a fairly meandering career. Because I did start so young, I think that I've always chosen my parts based on what's interesting to me and what I think would be challenging or fun, or someone I've always wanted to work with or a place I've always wanted to work in or a topic.

My roommate and my boyfriend, they both know I am compulsive and controlling.

One thing I noticed after being down in Mississippi for the shoot was that words like "God" and "Jesus" are used all the time, but they're not specifically referring to Jesus. It's sort of this accepted phraseology for love, or spirituality, or whatever it is you personally believe in.

I'm incredibly naive.

For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room.

I mean, I don't like anyone who likes themselves too much.

Remember who you are. It's really okay to be who you are.
