I've personally never wanted to be 'the babe', and refuse to let vanity get in the way of my acting because I don't see my job as being a beautiful person.

I never have time to have a dinner. I have to eat while I'm memorizing lines. The only way to maintain energy is to eat all day long. I must eat all day long.

I'll write and make chords with my voice sometimes if I don't have an instrument even though it takes a million times longer.

There are lots of things that everyone else likes that I hate. So I feel that audience rights are very important. I just want people to hear it and decide if they like it or don't like it as they would with anything else.

I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.

I love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.

I think that it's our responsibility to create a world in which girls can grow up and not have to limit their dreams or possibilities.
