I used to go to rave parties, too, but I was never savvy with techno.

Where I am now, you're very much at everybody else's mercy. You have no control over your career in a lot of ways. It's just important to know what your own goals are, because that's empowering.

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 tend to spiral out of control if I'm not working. I get panicked and don't know what to do with myself.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity.

They think I'm depressed because I look serious in photos. It's usually because I'm just nervous. But I've stopped dressing for other people. If I think I look good, that's the most important thing.

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