Flying is my favorite time in the world. When I'm sitting in a plane, it's amazing because it's quiet and there's no cell phones and no one to talk to you. It's my favorite time. I read all my scripts. I catch up on my movies. I sleep. It's the best. There's no one telling you, "Time to go!"

As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl.

Everything isn't perfect.

I don't ever want to do the same character twice. Variety excites me.
