I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was.

The way people love sci-fi is how I love cartoons.

I think the idea of family and protecting the family is something that ties a lot of these women together.

I'm attracted to stories that excite my imagination, stories that, as I'm reading the script, I feel it, I can see it, I can hear the characters. I'm attracted to characters that are real, that tap into something inside me that I haven't explored yet.

For me, comedians are like the epitome for everything great, and they terrify me. I just want to be them. I want to be like them.

John Cassavetes' films have really altered the way I see film and acting and storytelling and emotion and love, so I see acting as this incredible revealing of human nature and this means of telling our story, sharing our voice with the world. That's what acting is for me. It allows for people to experience things through the character, through the story.

I think being idle is quite hard for me to do.
