I think that cynicism can often be mistaken for wisdom.

My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role, but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.

With being a mother, I feel like you choose how you spend your time so much more carefully - which is a good thing.

Plus, doing a zombie movie is quite liberating. It's fun not to take myself seriously all the time.

I am aware that I've generally been more attracted to introspective roles, but it's sort of bizarre, because it's the opposite of who I am in many ways. I think I'm quite an extroverted, loud person. So it interests me that that's sort of the place that I go all quiet, is when I'm onscreen. It's a bit strange.

I'm a control freak and I like to be overprepared, and I'm overly organized and I'm not in the moment a lot of the time.

I think that the idea of family is a very powerful and influential and disjointed thing that will always captivate me.
