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.'

In dance you use every party of your body except your voice. I wanted to start acting because I wanted to use my voice.

I find it really frustrating when people go, "I want to be famous and glamorous like you."

I like to look strong and commanding.

I find it really frustrating when people go, "I want to be famous and glamorous like you." It's hard for me not to have a bad thought when someone says that to me, since if there's anything this business is not, is glamorous. It's only glamorous for maybe five minutes every now and then.

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

If there's anything that I've always said about myself is that to me, it's much more important for me to get to work with filmmakers that I've grown up loving and admiring.
