Nobody thinks of themselves as sexy, really. Some days you go, 'Hey, I'm not going too bad today.' But if you try and be sexy, you'll never be sexy.

What inspires you, what excites you when you wake up in the morning?

You have to be really comfortable in your skin. You have to start with being in love with you are, with who you've become.

I remember dreaming about it, about being on TV. I remember seeing Children of a Lesser God on Broadway. I was sitting in the second or third row, and I was just so blown away, and I walked out saying, ‘That’s what I want to do.’

If somebody ever wished to be me for a day, they'd be the most pissed-off person once they got here. They would be, like, in hell.

There's times when you see people climbing and getting success and you start to see, oh, they're starting to really change. So I always just make the effort to be as humble and grateful as possible.

Well, honestly I feel like an ordinary woman.
