Most adults get to a point in their careers where they feel secure, where they have a body of work behind them that will ensure longevity, and for actors, it's just not like that. You're basically always a temp, going from job to job.

When we do something we're not proud of, a lot of people don't want to look at that, people may say "what people don't know won't hurt them."

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

I had a real feeling of being fated to be an actor and do my work, and I remember so much speaking up in a room full of people who authentically knew as much or more than me, and feeling like I was absolutely equal, and what I had to say was important.

I don't have a lot of patience for boring arthouse movies.

I'm klutzy, and I don't embarrass easily.

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.
