I made a joke with my sister... I said, "I don't know what's more nerve-wracking, job insecurity or job security." There's opportunities and things you compromise with both. When I had endless freedom of schedule, or when I commit to a movie for two months, then I could manage my music and go on the road.

I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.

When I do a film, usually I work from my director. That's my boss. The director is interpreting the writer's vision, and we all interpret it, and they create their own vision as well.

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.

Adults are just children sometimes. But evil, hurt children.

Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.

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