politics
If I was into politics, I would be rich.
pants actors seats
I am very much a seat-of-the-pants actor. I will prepare when I have to. But I like being unprepared.
clothes people fronts
It's always weird the thought of taking your clothes off in front of 20 people and then to have it projected in front of many more.
auditions nails care
The more you love something, the worse you tend to audition. If you don't really care about something, you kind of nail it.
tattoo done results
Having the tattoo itself is not really for the end result for me. I like having them done.
teenager years lots-of-friends
As a teenager I was clinically depressed. Although I had lots of friends, I found those years very difficult.
parent cold sometimes
Sometimes it's a bizarre, fairly cold, and horrifying thing to be a parent.
streets
I almost never get recognised in the street.
beauty
Maybe you just don't see your own beauty.
One day I can be ecstatically up, and the next, I can feel this real blankness, a deadness almost, which is scary.
became great hair power remember shoulder sort vampire
'Lost Boys' is one of my all-time faves. I just thought it would be great to be a vampire. I remember this movie called 'Once Bitten,' which is about an '80s sort of power girl who became a vampire and was really, like, sexy. Hair like she was from 'Dallas,' shoulder pads, big earrings.
great realizing roles seems weird women
There seems to be great roles for women, and it's not necessarily - you don't have to be young women. Suddenly, we're realizing that, generally, women are interesting, and they can also be weird and crazy and mean.
lets places remote visit
Working in film lets me travel, which is one of my passions. I like to visit remote places and see real people.
might notion
There is always that thought that you might get stuck with a character. But there's always the notion that every character is always evolving.
