One comes to a decision based on what one wants, not based on what one doesn't want. Got it?
I'd just like to see a role for women where someone who isn't traditionally attractive is not portraying the best friend. You know, the character that only speaks in questions. 'Gee, are you gonna go out with him? Do you think I look fat?'
Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable.
As an actress for most of my life, I am profoundly familiar with poverty.
Actors, they come and go, you know.
I'm so sick of hearing how there's no strong roles for women. I don't care about strong roles. I just want to see women who are characters! A nun, a serial killer, a housewife, as long as there's some depth there.
I feel comfortable in the presence of oddity. Probably because I'm a little bit odd.
I almost never have a plan for myself... I'm not ambitious in that way.
The word 'equality' shows up too much in our founding documents for anyone to pretend it's not the American way.
A lot of people in this country right now are living with multiple generations under one roof, struggling to make ends meet.
I am a United States citizen and I vote.
Woke up this morning to the incredible news that I was nominated for an Emmy, and a shower full of dog poop. Apparently my dog is so excited, she has explosive diarrhea. I truly could not be more thankful to the Emmy voters for including me in this brilliant company of extraordinary women. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean up an enormous amount of dog poop out of my shower. Yay!
Things tend to come when they are meant to come. I know that sounds kind of like spiritual and cheesy, but I think things come when they're meant to come.
Independent film is not only an oxymoron; it doesn't exist anymore.
