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.

I would love to have a career that's governed by the material; I always want to be part of stories that I feel are worthwhile.

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

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?

You win an Oscar, and immediately people ask how you feel. So you don't have time to actually feel anything because you have to generate a response. And then some of the feelings you have are so intimate and visceral, words don't really do them justice.

I like people who don't tell you what you want to hear.
