I've been acting since I was young because I wanted to, not because my parents wanted me to. My dad is a principal and mom is a middle school counselor, so acting was like, "Eh, whatever. As long as you get good grades." It's really fun, and nothing more.

Every single character in the world, every creature in the world has something to give and something to learn.

I want to see and taste and experience it all, I am curious by nature. I would actually really love to go to New Zealand.

No [I'm not a feminist] because I love men, and I think the idea of 'raise women to power, take the men away from the power' is never going to work out because you need balance. With myself, I'm very in touch with my masculine side. And I'm 50 percent feminine and 50 percent masculine, same as I think a lot of us are. And I think that is important to note. And also I think that if men went down and women rose to power, that wouldn't work either. We have to have a fine balance.

You have only 30 seconds with a new person. I will give you a hug so you know I’m real, and then you’re real too.

It's rare that you get to work with actors, female or not, where you all get along. Just because of the nature of humanity.

I think every script has meaningful messages no matter what it is, because inherently life is full of meaning and every single day we lean a lesson.
