I have collections of quirky things from places I've been to, like a set of Russian dolls.

People sometimes talk about me as being a brand, having a strategy and whatever else. I wish. Seriously. I wish I had it together enough to have a strategy. But it's so instinctual. It usually comes down to two things: the person I'm working with - the director is really important to me - and a line in a script.

I think women are scared of feeling powerful and strong and brave sometimes.

My friends are all really nice about my fame, they're just curious really, they ask lots of questions.

I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

I've found that if ultimately, if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in, even if it makes you vulnerable, amazing things can and will happen.

My grandma said - when I was really young and I'd sing along to the radio - why do you sing in an American accent? I guess it was because a lot of the music I was listening to had American vocalists.
