I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.

As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.

The thing is, I want to play real characters and not all girls can be pretty. The thing is, you get these girls who say 'I'm a character actor' then you see them in a role and nothing has really changed but the outfit.

The old footage of my dad, I always knew we were cut from the same cloth, because my dad was such a renegade and always marched to the beat of his own drum. To see where we were both dancing and being silly together, it's too beautiful for words. I was really happy to have that.

My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

I'm always revving the engine. In this industry, there are so many twists and turns. You never have it made.

Nobody would ever think, "Oh, get into acting so you can live the straight and narrow path," but it gave me a sense of discipline and focus.
