I'm a huge Paul Thomas Anderson fan.

Particularly for women, I think more of us in the industry need to just do it. I think guys are more willing to put themselves out, that way, at least with the girls that I know. We say we want to direct, but then we don't actually do it.

I have a lot of different traits to my personality, depending on who I'm around, and what the dynamic in the situation is.

I have a sister who is a dancer and dance teacher. We grew up dancing together. I wanted to become a ballerina when I was a kid, so she and I were always at ballet conservatories and going to school with our hair in buns.

I want to be inspired by the characters that I play and excited by the projects that I do.

For any addict, when you get sober, life becomes more challenging, in some ways, because all of your problems become very clear and you have to deal with your pain. You can't just drink and forget about it and pretend it doesn't exist. You have to actually face it, head on.

I realized that the people weren't just characters but they were people and they were getting to do something that was so fun and I wanted to be a part of it.
