I don't think roles help you resolve your issues. I just think they're good markers.

Like, a lot of people I know are wanting to get back to the Earth in some way and not raise their kids in this world of Apps and Internet all the time. I grew up on a river in New Jersey and I was in fantasy land. I could do anything.

Confidence is very sexy. You could be not cute at all and have such confidence.

Being an actress doesn't make you popular in school.

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

The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowlands in 'A Woman Under the Influence,' where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It's that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven't always had the opportunity to do them.

I feel very lucky that I don't have to rely on a man to give me financial security. That's a big deal.
