“I'm not a big fan of the selfie. I'm not a big fan of seeing my own mug.”

“I'm not a Method actor. I'm a personal actor. I like to get as close to the character as I can.”

“I'm not one to go to a lot of parties. I'm not a big social butterfly.”

“It's just as valuable to be a bad example as it is to be a good example.”

“I like playing flawed characters. I find them more interesting.”

“I've learned that you can't have any regrets. You're a product of your decisions.”

“I don't think you can ever be a 'perfect' mother, and you should not even try. Be a 'good enough' mother, and you will be a perfect mother.”

“I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the ability to have a sense of humor about myself.”

“I've always been an outsider. I've always felt like I've been on the outside.”

“I think the best roles are the ones that are a little bit of a stretch for you.”

“I'm a work in progress. I'm still trying to figure it out.”

“I was never the pretty girl at school. I was the quirky, funny one.”
