When I look back on my career, I go, 'This is really great, I've played so many different women.'

I have a lot of LGBT friends and family members and I've always supported the community, not only as a child but as an adult, and I think it's important to voice that.

There’s always going to be someone who is prettier than you, better than you in some way, but everyone has that something that makes them different.

Over the months, I kept seeing more feathers, especially at moments when I was really down and distraught. You ask for signs in your life, but what you get is more like a confirmation: You are where you need to be. Just take a deep breath.

When the script for 'Once' came my way, I had the thought that maybe it will last only a season. But I was willing to take that risk.

I'm not one to take revenge. If someone does something wrong to me I leave it in the hands of the universe to take care of that person.

I do watch 'Revenge,' 'American Horror Story' and 'Game of Thrones.' I am behind on all of them. But I do watch them. Those are my go-to shows.
