I think even probably the people we look up to the most, and think are on the Mount Olympus of actors - they're still experiencing nervousness.

We all have our essential nature. If you're good with numbers, you don't even know you're good with numbers because that's how your mind works.

I'm always disappointed after an audition when I don't get a part and I hear, "Oh, she was too X, or too Y," and it's too much of a quality.

I wouldn't wear makeup, and I didn't like to let boys open the door for me because I felt like it was sexist.

I never wanted to be a playwright.

When my sister decided that she wanted to act, I was so nervous for her. She's doing great, but I have a lot of friends at every level of success as an actor, and we all go through periods of time where they feel like their worth isn't within their own control. That's a horrible feeling for an adult to have.

There's part of me that's grateful for the delusion, because it takes a very hard shell to get started as an actor, and I don't have a very hard shell.
