If you don't look like an airbrushed model ... you have to look past it. You look how you look. What are you going to do?

There are actresses who build themselves, and then there are actresses who are built by others. I want to build myself.

I don't know if this is why everything has worked so well and I'm not sure I'd recommend this kind of thinking to anyone else, but I've always known I'd be successful in acting. I have certainly worked for it.

It's interesting that there's so many different sides of this: Women get frustrated that we don't get paid enough; and then the Republicans or the CEOs that are men say, "Well, it's because women take off time for maternity leave."

I like when things are hard; I'm very competitive. If something seems difficult or impossible, it interests me.

Why can't we just be nice? It's like, we grow up, and then we get right back into high school.

I wasn't pretty enough to play the popular girl, I wasn't mousy enough to be the mousy girl, so I never fit in. And so I'd get close, but I never got anywhere, and it was really painful.
