I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

In high school, I dressed up as every James Bond girl. I was a teenage Pussy Galore.

I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, 'cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.

There are actors I know personally, or I've heard them say, "The less known about me, the better, because I just want people to think of me as the character." I think Matt Damon said that recently. He has a point and I think I get that.

I think I'm learning to be bolder in my career choices and be more confident in my personal life. I haven't always felt very secure as an individual, but now I feel I certain confidence and sense of self that gets me through the day a lot better than before.

I'd always find the positive in someone.

A lot of filmmakers and actors say, "It's so important to bring an authenticity to the role," blah, blah, blah. But then it's interesting because you're also trying to be somebody else, and viewers are going to associate you with that, so I don't think it really has an answer.
