Obviously, education is hugely important, along with healthcare. They're the basics and you're hurting your own country if you don't pour money into them.

Every job feels like my first.

There is a part of me that is not fulfilled by acting. It is a self-involved life; it can feel shallow, but not very often.

Auditioning is a horrible experience because you know you are being absolutely scrutinized and judged. There are days where you can do it and days where it's just not happening, and I feel like that's how it is with all artists; you have some days it kind of works.

I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.

I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

Acting has always been such escapism for me.
