I knew I wanted to be a performer, but I didn't know I would specifically be in film. I actually never thought I would be in film. I always envisioned being on the stage.
School was hard for me. If there had been a school for the creative arts, I might have thrived, but... I needed that creative outlet so much. Also, I'm just bad with numbers.
Find out who you are & embrace it. It's so much easier to face criticism when you are comfortable in your own skin.
A man who's powerful and strong yet is able to show tenderness and vulnerability, that's really sexy.
When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The red hair suits my personality. I was a terrible blonde!
If you're not excited by it, why do you do it?
I always saw myself as more of a watcher, although I suppose my siblings might have a different viewpoint on it.
I can be very polite, and I think that people can confuse that for all sorts of things ... But I'll take that over people assuming that I'm smart just because I'm short and rude.
Working with green screen, you really rely on the director in a way that you don't on different types of films.
Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.
The illusion of perfection is an illusion anyway.
Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since.
It's always challenging when you're shooting a film. Shooting things out of order and keeping continuity on all levels is always for me the most challenging thing.
Perfect isn't normal, nor is it interesting. I have no features without makeup. I am pale. I have blond lashes. You could just paint my face - it's like a blank canvas. It can be great for what I do.
