It's hard to find really original, compelling works of fiction, for women especially. I find that these true life stories about these women that I'm so blessed to play are some of the most compelling stories, and the truth is stranger than fiction.

It's give-and-take and back-and-forth, that constantly allows you to grow as an artist and as a human being.

There's so much I want to do as an actor. I feel like there's so much more that I want to achieve and that I can achieve.

I wouldn't change my past for anything, because I think it's made me who I am. I'm so enormously grateful for all that I have in my life.

I pretty much have made a career out of playing real life people.

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.

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