I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it's great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.

There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.

When someone holds a knife to your throat it's easy to be scared. It's not hard to imagine what it would be like.

I like the work that I get to do.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

In studio films, everything has to be boxed in, everybody needs to know beforehand - this is comedy, this is sci-fi, this is drama - and what's the point of independent film if you don't get to experiment?

Nobody sets out to make a bad film.
