It's fun to play a character when you can't concern yourself with how sympathetic they are.

People were always able to look at Bettie Page and see what they needed her to be and she gave them that permission to do so. So in that way she's a feminist but I don't think she was ever trying to be.

Hopefully, I'll just get to be part of good films and work with good people, and that's how it will develop.

It's not like I have a master plan or anything.

I think it's sort of disrespectful to the partner you're having sex with to talk about it.

In a way I'd say it's maybe more satisfying to do a play, because there is a beginning, middle, and end. But I also really enjoy the television experience, because there's a certain part of it that you have to let go of and trust in that process.

The interesting thing about Bettie Page that I discovered was to leave the mystery. She always retained a little mystery. Let there be some unknowns.
