My goal is to be myself, and to challenge stereotypes, and to follow the rules, and break them, and make new rules. It's not about doing something that's already been done. That would be silly.

When I run into disappointment - say, for example, not getting a role I'd hoped for - I just try not to take it personally.

People can dress you the way they want, they can do your makeup the way they want, but they can never take away your voice.

The day I feel like I'm at an office job is the day I'll quit performing in front of a camera.

I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am.

I don't believe in a God. I don't believe in any of that stuff to determine my life or my goals or my direction. I just depend on myself.
