There is always one person on the set who has a lot of anxiety, an actor who is really intense and has to stay in character and holds himself away from the rest of us.

I was really conflicted. I had always planned to help the world. Instead, I was going to become an actress? That seemed like such a selfish thing to do.

People are kinda still a bit puritanical, perhaps. People don't expect a woman to feel so open, in a way, about her sexuality onscreen, and they probably find it fascinating. I think more actors are doing it and being open to that and not being afraid of it, so it's becoming less of a thing.

I think most women these days can understand me juggling a career with being a mom because most of us do. I think I'm luckier than most because most women work nine to five and don't see their kids. I work six months a year or eight months a year.

You can be feminine and strong, at the same time. You can be a bad-ass and, at the same time, have a vulnerableness when you're hysterically crying, like most of us girls.

You serve the best by doing what you love the most.

I feel like, in a way, after doing it for so many years, you learn a certain concentration and how to turn it on and off.
