I'm always researching ancient religions, and I was also raised Jehovah's Witness, so that kind of scarred me for life.

There's a voice inside of me that I know people will relate to; I just haven't really had the opportunity to let it flourish. To sit there and explain to a guy what it's like to be a kick-ass woman is hard. I think there're only a handful of directors out there that get it.

I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f**king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.

The way I survived growing up in Jersey City was by being funny. It wasn't by being tough. Nobody thought of me as a tough kid, except for the kids I beat up.

When I am scared of something, I run towards it, instead of away from it.

The best part of making the movies... learning from the pros themselves.

I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.
