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'm not a show-off; I'm not an exhibitionist.

I act because I have to, because I need to find out whether I can do it or not - that's what drives me and excites me and lights me up.

As an actor, you always want to keep it different, change it up, and, you know, just to keep yourself inspired and work with interesting characters.

My family believe you should never be flashy about anything. Maybe that handicapped me a little bit, that extreme humility.

Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning.
