Of course any kind of film process has ups and downs and days where you're stuck and have breakthroughs.
Ours was a loving, nurturing household, but, at the same time, my parents' goal was to make all their children self-sufficient.
Telling everyone I wanted to go into forensic anthropology was my form of rebellion.
The thing that every parent hopes for is that the baby's healthy, I'm healthy. No matter how you feel, that's the most important thing.
What keeps me sane the most is, honestly, the Serenity Prayer.
Whenever I hear the word 'breakout,' I associate it with acne.
Actors create a fantastic lifestyle thinking they're going to be able to maintain it. Then they can't get work or have to start taking work that doesn't suit them.
After I did 'Orchids,' I enrolled back in film school and did a million and a half workshops and worked with great professors and people, trying to hopefully get better.

It is an honor for me to take part in Canon's Project Imagin8ion, partnering with a brand that is empowering young filmmakers and is at the forefront of technology.
Joss Whedon is a hero of mine, and what he's done for women in film and television, particularly when it comes to writing female roles that would typically go to a man, is awesome.
