For a while, I was only being sent fat-girl parts. Seriously? Sometimes I feel like I'm making some kind of radical statement because I'm a size 6.

It's always nice for me to get to explore somebody who's feeling that and then does something with it and takes it in a different direction or does something with it. It feels very powerful. It helps me with my own.

Sometimes you just feel so fortunate to be in the company that you're in and you just want to soak it all up.

I know my mother-in-law would drive two hours to go see a movie that I'm in.

People in New Zealand go out of their way to not be impressed by things.

I've done a gazillion readings that have gone on to be movies that are made without me.

Even just reading "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore,"I got a sense of the world and the story [Macon Blair] wanted to tell. And then I had a meeting with him and understood how he likes to work. I really trusted him from the beginning.
