I tend to gravitate toward the more powerful roles. As opposed to the doe-eyed girl who bats her eyelashes and runs around in towels, you now what I mean? Because that kind of makes me want to vomit.

I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.

Education is huge for me. I went to public school until I turned thirteen, and was lucky enough to afford college once I became successful as an actress.

I do think that the more takes you have the more opportunity to experiment [but] at a certain point, there are diminishing returns. There's only so much variety you offer.

The only thing that gets me through any type of pain, emotional or physical, is to make it worthwhile by putting it into my work.

I never think of myself as an actor who takes work home with them.

I am forever grateful that I got some training in the theater - it reduces performance anxiety.
