For me acting is pretending. It's illuminating my human struggle - trying to grow and have the courage to be filmed while figuring things out.

I'm honest. I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that.

Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do

Whatever the future holds I'm not really sure.

I remember my agent at the time called me and was like, "I've got it! I've found it! I've found your role!" I worked my ass off to get that role, because I think me and three or four other girls tested for it. But it was a great time.

I'd moved to L.A. with my mother when I was 17 or 18. She loved show business and I was young enough that I had no idea what I wanted to do.

I think there's an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or we're complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen
