Since I didn't grow up going to school dances, etc., I didn't have the normal . . . I grew up in a very different way so a lot of the childish concerns or teenage concerns weren't my concerns. My concerns were survival.

I never started out trying to be an actor. That was not my passion, this was not my thing.

I kind of grew breasts overnight and then the world got really loud.

I have a lot of brothers and sisters, and each movie has helped pay for tuition. And then I was like, I only have one left in college, so why am I doing this? But now I want to go back to Italy and live on a farm in Tuscany.

I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

It's interesting when you go out into the world and see which of your roles have affected people.

A lot of times when you do things where you're killing people, the character is always having an existential crisis about it. It's fun to be no-holds-barred and have no big crisis of conscious.
