If a woman is determined, she will get what she wants because we are very determined creatures.
There are directors that I want to work with and that I admire. You can love a script, but if it doesn't have a good director, it won't be that.
Whenever I really want a part, I'm not sure what to do. How do I let the director know how obsessed I am and willing to do anything for the movie?
I can't hear myself. I can stare at my double chin all I want, but hearing this androgynous voice, you can't even tell what sex I am.
I always felt like I sucked at everything, that I could never find the thing that I liked. I auditioned and I probably sucked, but I had decided 100 percent that this is what I wanted to do.
It's something I always tell myself: 'You need to calm the f--k down. You don't want to constantly be a GIF.
I never play characters that are like me because I'm a boring person. I wouldn't want to see me in a movie.
I like to adapt to a director's way of working. I love doing that. Each director is so different, and you have to adapt to this new way of doing something. That's what's amazing to me. That's why I love directors. I don't want to director to have to work around me. I think it's more fun for me to come in on their thing.
There are actresses who build themselves, and then there are actresses who are built by others. I want to build myself.
When you don't have anybody to take care of you, then you could go both ways: You could do whatever you want, or you could take charge and be your own parent.
I want to sit on my couch and drink and not change my pants for days at a time,
I want a pizza with my face on it.
A powerful woman is someone who exudes confidence and can be tough but fair and kind. And also knows how to get what she wants.
I do have big ambitions, but I think we all do. I just want to keep working hard and being happy.
