We're not just somebody's girlfriend who smiles all the time and bakes cookies and always has lingerie ready and their hair done. That's not real. The roles that I play are about bringing as much reality into it as possible.

I wouldn't play the normal girl. I don't think that that's interesting or realistic, as far as how human beings really are.

People always assume that things are just handed to me, but I've had to prove myself, every inch of the way.

Certain roles, I just won't invest in. I'll go in and audition, but I might not spend five hours trying to figure out what the character is really about or go so deep into it. I might just learn the lines and go in and try my best because I know it's not safe for me to love the character or to fall in love with the idea of the role.

The stakes are so high because auditions are make or break. You get the job or you don't. The stakes are about as high as they get, for yourself and your own self-esteem.

There's nothing you could really avoid about giving yourself to somebody who ultimately rejects you. That's just life.
