I'm an actor that likes to go to work. I like going to work every day. I'm a worker by nature. I'm not someone who does one film a year and feels satisfied by that.

The first season [of Jessica Jones] exceeded my expectations already, so I'm just waiting to see what will happen in the second season.

If I'm going to take my clothes off I figured I might as well do it for something that I'm directing myself since I had complete control of the edit.

I don't really look forward to movie stardom or doing a $200-million movie or winning an Academy Award.

I realized that I'm a soft person. I think I'm sensitive. I wanted very much to be tough and I think movie stars have a certain kind of resilience and toughness to them, but I'm quite a sensitive young lady in some respects.

In terms of style I typically veer toward a certain masculinity. My style inspirations range from images of my father in his 1970s suits, to Tilda Swinton, to Hugh Hefner, to Sharon Stone and her ferocious sexuality, to handsome men I see on the streets of New York.

I know what I want, I want things for myself, but I think the key to life is somebody to love, something to do and something to look forward to. I don't think it's complicated.
