I modeled for a little while in college. I was desperate to travel, and I got scouted, and they wanted me to go to Paris and London for six months. And I discovered that I hated it. I didn't like the expectation to be pretty all the time.

I'm really aware of the conversations that surround young actresses in Hollywood. I always get myself into a hole with these conversations, and I get weirdly quoted, and I sound militant and like I'm not thankful at all, and I'm so thankful of everything that's happening. But I'm an active observer of the machinations of this world.

I'm getting rid of this idea that you want people to like you. I'm making decisions on what feels right to me. To act in a more carnal way. That's my challenge.

I've been lucky to work consistently on women who I think are interesting, fleshed out, and strong and active participants in their destiny.

Actresses are required to perform the epitome of a certain type of femininity.

I fall in love with something and wear it every day until it's destroyed. My most treasured items have a very short shelf life because I love them too much.

A weird thing about being an actress is that shooting movies doesn't feel like watching movies. It feels like being in a warehouse.
