I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.

I'm not a very 'this is planned out' person when I get to set. 'This is how I'm going to do it' - I'm never like that.

I love to produce, and I've directed two short films.

I've always been someone who is pretty hard on herself. But I've lightened up a lot.

Every movie I do, I always use things that have happened in my life. Funny moments, anything. If it just sticks out I'll write it down and use that, too, because it has to come out of you. But no one can work when they're depressed. I don't think I'd physically be able to do it if I were depressed.

And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armour.

I'm not someone who is scared of doing things out of the box.
