I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.

When you feel good is when you're not afraid to feel the worst.

I've always used my own personal emotions and things that I've gone through in my life to build a character. The work that I do before a film feels almost like therapy, between me and whoever I'm playing.

I think everyone wants for their kids the good things that they had.

When you're little, you're open to things. It's not like you get into this rehearsed zone when you're a child. At first you play different sides of yourself. And I think it will be really exciting one day to have a character to go into that's not anything like me whatsoever.

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.

I've seen 'karma' slap people in the face. You have to be good to people. It really does come around.
