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

We make conscious choices to do something a certain way.

It's just about trying to find material where I'm doing more than just being a plot device. I want to actually get to do scenes that go to interesting places and are challenging to me.

I can remember when Pulp Fiction came out. I was, like, 10 years old. But I remember the impact that it had.

You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.

I always wanted to perform in some capacity since I was a kid - I was a ballerina, then a singer before acting.

I actually came to New York when I was 12 and did ballet school for a little while. I was being groomed to be professional, and a lot of the professors and teachers there were drawn to me and thought that I could become a professional ballerina.
