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.

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

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.

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

Music is kind of my everything.

[There's] this idea of "I want to take care of myself," but at the same time I want to be brave, daring, and expressive.

In acting, you have a writer, a director, a character - you're working through being another person - and the irony I always tell people is when I acted early on as a teenager, it actually kept me out of trouble.
