When I was younger I did karate and martial arts, and I think it's really cool for girls to have those kinds of abilities.

If I get two lines in the script, I somehow turn it into 20. I've got a bit of a bad habit of doing that, of just embellishing my little moment.

The more I know about America, the better I'll be at performing American characters and American stories.

I know, I pick up the roles other actresses don’t want [laughs]. When there’s movies where there are two sisters and one’s the uglier sister, there’s always no actress that wants to go for it. I’m like, why not! They’re the best roles!

I don’t really care what I look like that much, and I think women out there should just be happy with the way they look. They shouldn’t really try to conform to any kind of stereotype. Just be happy and hopefully healthy.

There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.

I never thought I would end up being an actress. I thought I really was going to do serious stuff like law or politics.
