I struggle for what I believe in. Life is short, it's impossible to repeat something; you have to take advantage of things when you can reach them.

Very thorough in the rehearsal process but more in terms of just understanding the characters, understanding where the actors are at with discovering those characters for themselves, and just setting an overall emotional tone for the piece as opposed to necessarily getting things up on their feet or staging scenes.

Playing Juliet in Heavenly Creatures changed my life, and the role of Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind opened many new doors creatively.

For me, they definitely made it more challenging. The comfort zone factor really kicked in between Leo and I, and I just think that's because we know each other so well. We've known each other since we were 20-years-old.

I hope I'm always learning something.

I look very different from how people expect me to be... Clearly they think I'm a great big fat viking.

It's funny when someone says to you 'you're hot' and all that, because I don't think of it in that way.
