I've been given so much, and if I can just give back a tenth of what I've been given, then it's all worth it.

I did get bullied and I did get picked on and I did have that feeling in my gut of being incredibly self-conscious. I naturally gravitated towards my elders because I didn't know how to speak or be present with my peers.

There's another girl who was going to play Hilary Faye and luckily she wound up not doing it.

It doesn't matter if a critic pans or praises my movies, I am only concerned about that one audience member and what their experience is.

So the characters that I choose, I like to make sure that they have depth and that they have some sort of bite. It's more fun.

There’s a fear that grasps each individual and what they think is right and what they think is wrong.

We do have a choice at the end of the day to say yes or to say no. There have been things that I have passed on where agents at the time were like, "you're crazy, why would you pass on this," because it wasn't something that I personally wanted to be a part of.
