I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

A strange thing happens to me that I'm sure happens to a lot of actors when the camera starts rolling. I'm not 'me' any more.

It doesn't really matter what people think of me, I should just be connecting with people I really like instead of pretending to be the perfect version of myself.

I've actually got turned down for a lot of roles because I'm not bubbly enough. People have told me to be more 'up', but I can't, really. I find it hard to be smiley and giggly all the time.

Sailor Moon' was my favorite cartoon of all time, and I'm still kind of obsessed with it. I own all the DVDs to watch it at home.

After Hollywood, you know if people are interested in you or in the fact that you've been in a movie. You know who your real friends are.

I was lucky - the first eight productions I auditioned for, I got cast.
