Be yourself. You're okay. And it really doesn't matter what other people think.
I love Ben Affleck so much. He's an amazing director.
I don't like it when people don't hold the door. I don't know, that really bugs me... I guess I like manners.
I wanted to wear a uniform when I was in high school, but I couldn't. I was like, 'It would be so much easier!'
My guilty pleasure is I like to watch a lot of HGTV. I really like watching design shows about houses, like extreme homes. Like buying a bridge and turning it into a house or something like that. I really am interested in home design or something like that... architecture.
Whatever it is that I am working on is what I become obsessed with.
Coffee makes me go crazy.
I don't have a connection to the fashion world at all.
For me as an actor, daring is to tell the truth - to be yourself, no matter how the world interacts with that.
In school, I was playing old men and women, babies, Russian people, and all sorts of weird parts - a lot of comedy - and that's sort of like home to me.
I love children. I just don't know if I'm ready to have kids. I feel like I have more time. Kids are cute, you know? They need a lot of help - that's the thing.
I don't know my armpit from my elbow in Los Angeles.
As an actor, what I'm finding is that I really like the extremes. I think that's really fun to play with.
I didn't spend a lot of time with prison guards, but my father was an assistant district attorney for a long time so I was always hearing stories about prisoners and prison guards.
I had a teacher in college who drastically changed the course of my life by telling me that he believed in me as an actor. I never received that support before, and it inspired to me to such a degree that I never looked back. He taught me that it's okay to be crappy; it's okay to fight; it's okay to go to any length.
So often, we're expected to maintain some sort of standard - that won't get you where you need to go. One of the most daring things I've done is drop out of graduate school. I had no job, but something inside me was saying, 'Go! Be in the world!' I had to listen to myself, and it worked out. I still think, 'Who was that girl?'
I definitely felt by the time I got to grad school - which was a great experience - I was like, 'What's the difference between the teachers and the students? Why are the teachers teachers if they want to be acting?' It didn't make sense to me anymore. It's not like you learn how to set a broken bone and you get the stamp of approval.
I'm the girl who will show up in jeans no matter what - but the jeans can get fancier and fancier.
I don't do detoxes or cleanses; they don't really work for me.
I like to do yoga, Pilates, dance, and things like that.
