I get along really well with Lars [von Trier] but definitely during our first meetings I was feeling him out and he definitely says some things that are inappropriate and then you kind of get his sense of humour. I really enjoy him. He's one of my favourite people I've met now. So, he's pretty great.

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.

It's hard to get lost in a scene, to get into a character when everyone's standing around you on the set.

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

I think for everyone it's good to have your own personal work on a character and a film before you even start rehearsing, to have an inner life.

When you get older, you feel better about yourself. You're not worried what other people think about you, in general. You just get more comfortable in your skin.

I think every woman goes through a relationship where she is with a guy that is really not right for her. You get lost in it.
