I do give myself a break in my personal life but I think in work, if you don't push yourself you get bored and want to do something else.

I really feel like the first day I went to drama school and I went up on stage, that I found my vocation. It's kind of a cliched thing to say but I really feel like it was what I was meant to do.

What counts in Hollywood is box office. It doesn't really matter what people think of you as an actor because, as long as you have been in a movie that has made money, you will always get another job.

It's taken me a long time to realize that my own life is far more interesting than any part I'll ever play.

The real challenge is to give a really nuanced performance and really push myself, to make sure that we see a very complete picture of a woman living with Asperger's. Of course, I'm always intrigued. I learn so much from the show about storylines that actually happen on the border.

I do watch what I eat, but not for weight reasons.

I know a lot of people think, 'She's so glamorous.' But that's really not me at all.
