Women have a way of contorting things sometimes. We all have our moods, ups and downs.

I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting.

I love women like Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, who kind of go out on a limb and do their own thing. I find it very inspiring and it allows you to do what you want to do.

I always did TV commercials and made great money to put myself through school. That became guest starring roles on TV shows.

I still get excited by working with big names. You have that initial moment of, 'Oh my goodness, I'm going to work with Tom Cruise!'

I'm the type of person who doesn't want to sit alone in a restaurant or bar.

I came out here to do the acting, and then after a year of auditions and not getting anything, I met these Italian guys and they asked me to write lyrics for them. Then they said, "Why don't you just front the band?" I said, "Well, maybe because I can't sing. I've never sang before in my life."
