I think part of that comes from time's passed, and she's been in an environment where training is part of the thing. It's not like we do a montage of her discovering her powers like in every X-Men film but yeah, there's no montage. But she does have these new abilities that we pick her up with.

I've always had a complex about being taken seriously.

I believe that you are only in control of so much. So whatever you are not in control of you can't worry about.

Living in L.A., I was embarrassed to say that I wanted to be an actor.

Normally I don't feel like having a belly full of pasta.

My favorite thing about acting is you have to learn how to work with people that you probably would never try to. Some people just aren't supposed to be in a room together, and you have to be in a room with a group of people who might not all get along and you have to figure out how to come together for one thing. That collaboration is special, and people don't get to exercise that. I think that's why people become stubborn, and I think that's why people become uninspired to change. In this job you have to.

I'm terrified of improv. Improv in a show or in front of an audience sounds terrifying.
