I have a tendency to lean towards a more retro look.
I used to be a night owl. I no longer am a night owl.
We all have fears, especially when we're younger. I was afraid of clowns.
I went through a really dorky phase.
I think it's very refreshing to see women in cinema having strength and their own independent storyline.
I prefer clean silhouettes that are almost utilitarian, but I'm not afraid to take risks on the red carpet, either.
I think it's important to surrender to situations that take you out of your comfort zone.
Before 'Music and Lyrics,' I was just doing high school plays and singing in my church choir and my school choir.
There's not a formula that I'm following; it's just how I feel at the time. For instance, I did a very experimental film called 'Hardcore Henry,' and that was simply because I thought the filmmaker was very interesting and a risk taker. A film like that had never been made before, so I chose to do that at the time.
I don't know that I'll ever get to make my ideal film, because Frank Capra is dead.
I think to try to understand human behavior and why people do what they do, and what in their lives have shaped them and impacted them to be who they are, it's something. I mean, that's my entire life.
My mom was an artist, and she had this amazing ability to transform everything into something beautiful.
I think the more experience I have working on films, the more I can shed that character rather than carrying around that heavy weight.
I struggled for many, many years following 'Music and Lyrics' - I mean really struggled.
All I came to Los Angeles with was a dream. No one from my family ever left Ohio.
I always wanted to do things on my own terms, and unfortunately in this industry, that's not something that is easily given. You're at the mercy of other people, but then you still have that drive to continue on. That's an equation for a lot of heartbreak.
I'm attracted to the rag & bone aesthetic - classic and effortless with an edge.
Pioneer women were very tough - they had to be, because the men go off for long periods of time, and the women would have to be able to protect themselves and their homes.
If acting doesn't work out, I'm probably going to be a professional chef.
For any actor - not just talking about myself - but if you've been fortunate enough to work for a long period of time, there's going to be different choices you're going to make.
