I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.
It was really fun and intimate in a way. Working with George Miller is exquisite. Gloria is different from anything I've ever played before. The first time I saw the characters in the studio I remember thinking that Mumble looked just like Elijah, with such a cute and endearing face. I don't think Gloria looks that much like me.
To give Tinker Bell a voice for the first time in history is such an honor.
I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.
And as much as I love the gritty characters, I like to play all sorts of characters. I'm an actor. I love to create.
I take work very seriously and telling the truth in my job and professionalism.
You actually can make it, no matter what. I truly am a firm believer in that. Eminem's living proof.
Curiosity did kill the cat, but I'm very curious.
I do sarcasm really poorly.
I definitely want to start a family, but that will happen when it's supposed to.
I have never tried [cocaine] in my entire life. I've never even seen it. ... I am also way too high-strung. I can't even take a Sudafed. Can you imagine? My God. I think my heart would explode.
I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.
I love producing. My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I'd like to build something to that effect.
I am an eternal optimist. Being happy is a choice. And you can make that choice every day, if you want to.
