I'm a girl from Queens. I've never gone, 'What am I doing today? Oh, I'm gonna grab a gun and learn how to use it.'

Sometimes we get too caught up in wanting to do that one movie that will get seen and approved and nominated, that we lose sight that there are so many other movies that are worth your time.

I don't believe actors who say they don't bleed into their characters. It's absolutely impossible not to.

Call me crazy - I love elk meat!

I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.

I want to be in the small percentage of women who don't settle for conventional roles.

I think there are roles there; we just have to choose them. We have to fight for them.
