My mother said I was always an intense child, a very sensitive child. So that probably helped the emotions to be very present. I was just a big thinker. I would evaluate and analyze and feel and cry and discuss and be angry. All of those emotions were very surface for me.

If I fall over and make mistakes, I'll pick myself back up and hope for the best and try to conduct myself with as much authenticity and moral code.

The power of work, and the power of creativity can be your salvation.

I look for roles that show women as independent, informed, and free to make their own decisions.

Regrets are ridiculous, so I don’t regret, no.

As an actor timing is important, especially as a mother with small children, so a lot is chance.

I think you put art out into the world, and sometimes it's divisive, sometimes it's embraced. Sometimes people cry, laugh or have complicated reactions.
