I've got wonderful people I get to work with, and I'm trying to focus on that, instead of worrying about, Aw, who doesn't want to work with me? You focus on the ones who do.Collection: People
I do make a conscious effort to not repeat old patterns, instead of being like, But they don't want me! I haven't always been that way.Collection: Effort

I'm so respectful of good writing. It's the blueprint for the movie. You have to have that script there because, if you don't, you're going to have problems. It's very important. It's also a gut instinct.Collection: Writing

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."Collection: Thinking
I think in show business, it's really kind of easy to perpetuate that feeling of, like, Oh, I don't measure up. Or always having to prove yourself.Collection: Thinking
I have always loved both drama and comedy.Collection: Drama
I consider my comedy to be dramatic comedy. I always wanted music underscoring the dramatic monologue. It was always drama with comedy, in my head.Collection: Drama
I do use my body a lot, to click into a character.Collection: Character
The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.Collection: Character
Marriage can be complicated.Collection: Complicated
I don't want to do something, if I don't feel like I can do a good job serving the material.Collection: Jobs
