I hate being looked at. Can't stand it. I know, I know - I picked the wrong career. I should have been a doctor. If you play certain parts you have this nice face painted on you, and then you have feel as if you have a responsibility to this idea of being beautiful. I hate that about our business.

The more you love something, the worse you tend to audition. If you don't really care about something, you kind of nail it.

I have an internal protectiveness where it's like, if it comes to just me, as frightened as I am of losing someone I love or things going sour or simply being alone, there is a dark place in my brain where I'm like, It could happen and I'm okay, I'm prepared.

It's a feeling without a lid, of what you would do, physically, verbally, to protect the one thing that is your greatest love.

Sometimes it's a bizarre, fairly cold, and horrifying thing to be a parent.

Shooting guns is not something I would do in my spare time.

I look at someone like Kathryn Bigelow, and I have so much admiration. She's playing in the boy's sandpit, and winning.
