There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it
Sometimes you arrive late in the process of filming, which makes it a little scary because they've already got this well-established technique going on, and all of the relationships are comfy and cozy. You have to figure out how to fit in, which can always be a scary first day.
There's a set of rules out there somewhere that says it all ends by 40. I hope to be able to defy that because I truly love my work.
It'll take me a lot longer to read a script if there's no director attached.
I like complicated women. I like women with strength and contradictions...
You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I'm this dark, twisted, miserable person.
If we could just trust the moment that we're in and live it in the way that you best can embrace it, it would be much better for all of us.
The use of violence in movies is a subject that's worth addressing. I'm not standing on a soapbox or wagging a finger, but I'm interested in those subjects for sure.
I think in my 20s I was just all about having fun.
Mum put me in drama classes when I was about 14. I'd been going on about it for some time, so maybe it was a way to shut me up.
