You can’t eat beauty. It doesn’t feed you.

I went to an all-boys high school, and they accepted girls in only the two A.P. classes. They had these archaic rules: for example, girls couldn't wear makeup. I found it so outrageous that an all-boys school could tell girls to not wear makeup! So I went on a campaign. I got a petition signed and everything. If a girl wants to wear makeup to boost confidence, why not?

I've had somebody say, "I want you at my wedding, but I don't want you to pull focus, so wear jeans!" Losing my anonymity is something that's proving to be very challenging.... It's good for your soul to walk around unnoticed; there's so much you can't do when everybody knows who you are. And I so miss those little things.

I do my best work when I feel conviction to say something through the character I play. Always I want to have integrity and not compromise that.

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

It's in understanding yourself deeply that you can lend yourself to another person's circumstances and another person's experience.

I like to wear things, I don't like things to wear me.
