I think it's important to keep an element of fear about yourself because it makes you appreciate the jobs.

Healthy aggression is good, but I think social media can perpetuate that in the worst way. You have to be careful about comparing yourself to others. You can never be somebody else. You will only be yourself, and that's what's great.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

Here in L.A. the standard of beauty is kind of ridiculous. I want to be doing this when I'm in my fifties and sixties and this isn't what I'm going to look like.

I'm ambitious but I'm not particularly competitive. I'll try to get roles, as I think it's healthy to go for things, but... I think there's too much competition between women already. It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses.

I have to rein myself in sometimes.

Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.
