I was always interested in doing it, but I was so content with my life that I didn't really go after it.

I'm really enjoying being an actor right now, at this point in my life. It's a great job, it's a huge responsibility, and I just want to do it more.

I was more wishy-washy in the first 12 years of my career, just because that was my personality.

I'm a little bit more of a relaxed, lazy mother.

I think the emotional toolbox I have is healthy for an actor, as far as the intensity of emotions go. It's other things I have to hone. I can swim in that comfortably.

You know when there's someone new on the rise and there's too much hype? I didn't want that to be me.

In every take, that you're not sure of what they're going to cut and paste together and what the arc or the purpose or the intention of your character's journey will be in the story. You don't have control. Sometimes that's wonderful, and sometimes that can be scary.
