Obviously I’m a feminist. It’s ridiculous that anyone would think other of me.

I really think the key to a film is the chemistry of people.

I was always in and out of school. What I learned in high school is that female friendships are so much more important than worrying about having a boyfriend or looking good or things like that. I had such a good girlfriend growing up that we didn't need anything. We had such a creative world of our own imagination together. For me, if I have a child, I would say, "I hope you find a best friend that makes it so you don't really need much but each other." Learning about that type of friendship and trust is one of the best things I ever got out of school.

The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.

I've learned to do a movie and then not be in that place for a long time.

I wanted to get an angel wings tatooed on my back, as a guardian thing.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.
