I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.

I take great responsibility in any character that I play.

I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.

When something happens, I always check myself and know it's going to go away. So be prepared for it. This is a tough business for actors who are sensitive. If you try to hold on to things, you'll go crazy.

Whatever anyone says, I think the opposite will happen.

No matter what the characters you play, you have to find the differences in them, especially when you are doing a political movie.

It's a fact, the majority of films in Hollywood are from the male perspective. And the female characters, very rarely do they get to speak to another female character in a movie, and when they do it's usually about a guy, not anything else. So they're very male-centric, Hollywood films, in general. So I think it's incredible that Ned Benson, when I said I'd love to know where she goes, says okay, I'm going to write another film from the female perspective.
