It's dangerous talking about yourself too much because you find yourself talking in sound bites.

The thing I miss about L.A. is time. I feel like I had much more time there, partly because no one is ever really doing anything.

My take on people and on the characters I play in Transsiberian, the role you're looking for, is that everybody is more than one thing. We're many things, all of us, and there are times when we are capable of great levity and jolliness and then there are times when the opposite is true.

I thought a parent's job was to tell their children not to go into acting as a profession!

You don't have to be brilliant at everything. You just have to have the courage to put yourself in the line of fire.

I must have been a really pretentious little girl.

Accents are very tangible, blessedly, and if you have to do one, it's a way of getting into character. I can read it through a few times and pretend I know what I'm doing!
