Quotes
Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.
It's not always so great to be objectified but I don't feel I have much of a choice right now. I'm young in my career. I know I have to strike when the iron is hot. I look forward to the day when I can do a small movie and act and it's not about me wearing a bathing suit or chaps.
The movies that I do are usually physically demanding in one way or another. It's a good way to keep your health on track. Especially when you've been on-set for 14 hours, it's nice to relieve that stress in another way than having to rely on a big meal and wine.
No matter how different women are, we all seem to share the guilt that we're not doing enough. If anything, I would say that as long as you're doing your best, it's more than enough.
Every five years I feel like I'm a completely different person.
Having the right partners also means having people you like. They're all people I wouldn't mind getting stuck with at an airport for five hours.
I love acting because it's this space where dreams can be realized, fantasy comes to life, and there are no limitations on what's possible.
I never just did what people told me. I questioned everything. When I look back, it is really no surprise that I started working at 12.
