I had an upbringing in which I was allowed to be free and use my mind. My parents only helped me to be myself. It was only in my teenage years that I met people who made me start having doubts about who I was. They said you shouldn't be confident, you shouldn't be strong. It is only when you meet those other people that you lose confidence.

With movies and TV, storytelling, it's a different medium. I really love it, but I'm one part of many, many pieces of that puzzle and a lot of it is out of my control.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

Understanding human nature. Perception. That's how I see acting - perception and communication.

As actors, we want to go find the humanity and make it more nuanced and fill in the colors, rather than just being suit people who crack cases, 'cause they aren't that.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

My main objective was finding my individuality as a vocalist.
