I'm going to do my job and I don't care if I'm not friends with anybody. I don't need to be best friends with all my co-workers to do a good job.

You can't have a director say, "Just be you"; you have to have an aim. It's like when you throw darts, you have to know where the bullseye is. You can't just say, "No no no no no, drop the darts. Just stand. We're going to film you." You have to get there indirectly. You have to have me doing something, and then you can get "me."

I feel strongly about showing up and being prepared and not taking the opportunity for granted and being conscientious about my fellow co-workers.

I'm just happy when directors make a movie that is really sentimental but without being maudlin or saccharine or too much like Chewels gum. I don't want to be involved in a movie that's too much like a piece of Chewels.

Sometimes if you've got a story that's interesting enough, you don't need to pour sugar on ice cream. The ice cream is great.

When I do a job, I do it 100 percent. I am so grateful for the chance to do what I do.

I come from a really lovely, really smart family where the only stress was money and employment.
