I want to be true to the character and maintain some consistency and give the audience what they love while at the same time keeping things fresh and grow the character.
My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.
See, I don't watch reality television anymore. I watched a little bit of it for awhile, but I found it turned my soul into a black sludge, and I just did not find it healthy or good for me at all, because I would watch it and be disgusted, disgusted.
Things come to you in life when you're prepared for them, when you're ready for them.
There are so many brilliant women on television right now.
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.
Actors, they come and go, you know.
As an actress for most of my life, I am profoundly familiar with poverty.
At this point, I don't get hired a lot because people don't think I could finance a movie.
Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable.
I am a fierce patriot, and I try to be outspoken about my beliefs.
It's important to me if I'm having a good time than I feel like the work is better. The quality of it is better and my level of interest is higher.
If I'm enjoying myself, I find my opportunities for more fun become greater.
I feel comfortable in the presence of oddity. Probably because I'm a little bit odd.
