I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.

It's tough, acting. You have to walk two lines of a tightrope. There's the all-consuming fear of failure: I'm about to fall flat on my face. There's that and there's also confidence - you have to be confident in order to try things - and they fight each other all the time.

I don't want to torture anything. It's about trying to live a life where I'm not contributing to the cruelty in the world... While I am on this planet, I want everyone I meet to know that I am grateful they are here.

I think that with any emotion - fear, love, nervousness - if the actor's feeling it, then the audience feels it.

Any man that dates me, the thing they're gonna have to live up is my dad - he's a real hero.

My grandmother used to say, "Sometimes the loudest person in the room doesn't know what they're talking about." Or isn't secure enough in his or her own views to be able to listen to others.

I've spent my life being embarrassed.
