I can speak of actors that I love. I love Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis, her tenacity. I love Charlize Theron. She's so surprising and so exhilarating, the kinds of projects she takes on. Marion Cotillard as well.

I love color. I'm enjoying trying all different shades. Makeup isn't something I've worn a lot of in my life.

I loved duping my parents; I liked manipulating them. It was a way for me to stand out. It was fun.

There's always a sense of newness with acting, because every role, you come to every role fresh.

[My mother] always said I was beautiful and I finally believed her at some point.

On a very practical level, I've learned the importance of circulation socks for planes. I had this awful experience of getting off a flight to go to an event and my feet had swelled. Try getting into heels then! So you put on the socks for the flight, then you can wear whatever heels you want.

The muscles you flex in theater are muscles that you really need. I must always find a way to get back there. It's irreplaceable.
