I've always loved Louisiana and particularly New Orleans, and I think a lot of people when they travel there, think they're home there - there are just so many spirits, it's so rich in culture. It's steeped in a true spirit of individuality that makes this country. It's the oldest part of our story, in a way. And being in that climate, it was really conducive to letting our imaginations soar. I found it to be the true inspiration.

I went through this realization that acting, at its heart, is the ability to manipulate your own emotions.

It's nice to have a crush on someone. It feels like you're alive, you know?

I'd rather be really good at something or not do it at all.

I don't profess to know anything about marriage that anybody else doesn't know, or how to make it right. I don't want to read about somebody who's giving me relationship advice. So I try to keep some things for myself, to have a private life.

I always like to start with a matte base then add shimmer.

What about my brain? What about my heart? What about my kidneys and my gallbladder?
