I started acting as a child in Community Theatre but I didn't do any serious stuff. It was all musicals like 'Annie' and 'Wizard of Oz.' I was always in the chorus.

For this relay there was a little more pressure because it's the 200, you have to make sure you swim it smart. The 100 was more about energy.

An interview is like a minefield.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

From Blue Valentine I kept my wedding ring. I actually kept it on for a while. After the shooting had stopped, I was still wearing it – I couldn’t quite take it off – and now I keep it above the kitchen sink where I do dishes, as a little memento.

I was born with a fierce need for independence.

I'm not making any bets on the future.
