I've been very lucky in the characters I've chosen. Up until last year I was a nobody. I did jobs I booked because I needed to put food in my mouth.

Something magical happened when I turned 25 - I looked in the mirror and was like, 'You might not get carded for an R-rated movie anymore.' Like I didn't have a little stick figure anymore.

I'm not a woman whose self-worth comes from her dress size.

There are tiny choices that everyone can make that profoundly affect our collective water use. Like not having the tap on while brushing your teeth, not starting your shower ten minutes in advance, not doing laundry until you have a full load. In this particular issue, education really is power.

If you're in high school, just know there is a big world out there and you can be anyone you want to be.

I think that American audiences are more used to following one character.

I'm not homely enough to play the nerdy girl and not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl.
