I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.

One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.

I like to play women who blaze trails.

I look at some of my work and say, "Oh, that's where I can be better." I want to continue to grow and do things that do scare me. I want to work with filmmakers who will help me go deeper in my work.

I never know what my next thing is going to be, and I'm not out there specifically searching for one thing in particular. I'm just looking for something that's new and different. It could be a drama or a comedy, I just want to challenge myself and work with people that inspire me.

I bring my dogs on set with me, and my little dog Karoo is smart as a whip. She knows where the craft-services food tables are, so anytime I can't find her, I know she has found her way to that area. She's a funny dog.

I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.
