I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it.

Once you've found something you know how to do, it makes you feel you don't have to be intimidated by someone.

I wanted to do something far from my intellectual and physical home, so I went to live in Beijing for eight months and took Mandarin Chinese.

I have a hard time getting motivated to do something that seems like a career move. I've gotten into vague trouble with my agents for turning down work that I thought was exploitative.

Sometimes I feel limited by people's perceptions of what I can and cannot do, or what I do or don't look like.

I had a Christian upbringing - it was all about sin and guilt. I was very happy just kissing people. I was like the make-out queen - not even second base.

I hate it when people use sex as a weapon against the people who are engaging in it. It's so hypocritical.
