I'm a Taurus. To the bone.

One of the things I love most about acting is just disappearing in the role, as much as I can. I think that's one of the things that intrigued me about it.

Women are brought up to think it's acceptable to pay attention to their faces. Men translate their discomfort into their behavior.

When I wasn't working I didn't know what to do with myself and sort of didn't exist, in a way, when I wasn't working, so I was like two different people. I am not like that anymore.

Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.

Even though I don't feel I need approval, it's still important to me to give a good performance. I'm hard on myself.

It never occurs to me that I'd be intimidating to anybody. Maybe I should consider that.
