“For me, I always nurse out in public. It never crossed my mind, because I was taking care of my child, and I was living my life. We need to know as women that that is normal and great and beautiful and OK. And I want to be part of that conversation - not making anyone feel wrong if they don't do it.”
“My husband jokes that I'll invite people over for dinner and he won't know who they are or where I met them. But in my work world, I've never really been tempted to tell too much of my story.”
“It's never a surprise to me that a job that I'm doing reflects what I'm going through or what I'm thinking about.”
“Who could have imagined that a platform like - I'll use Netflix as a example - that it could be so good?”
“I've never been attracted to sci-fi per se. People tell me I'm in a genre kind of movie, but it never crossed my mind that 'The Matrix' was genre.”
“When I was seven, my mom would come home every day, and I would have the phone book open to talent agencies, and I would have them highlighted.”
“It's extremely difficult and very challenging to be a woman in film and television. Just showing up in this business forces you to know yourself. But I learned how to deal with rejection and get tough when I was working as a model - it taught me how to put myself out there. In a way, my time modelling was a preparation for life.”
“I think we all have mechanisms that we use, each of us individually, to deal with pain that we've had or just dealing with life or whatever. Everyone's story is different, but we all have some kind of mechanism that we use to deal with stuff, that we create pretty young.”
“There was a day when doing TV was like, oh my God, the end of your career. Now it's just like, we all want to do TV; we all want to do great TV.”
“When I did 'Memento,' independent film was where all the really good stuff was.”
“Self-care is so much more than a beauty regimen or an external thing you do. It has to start within your heart to know what you need to navigate your life. A pedicure doesn't last, but meditating every day does.”
“I quit steaks for a while, but it's a hard habit to break.”
“There is so much conflicting advice for mothers. Women finding out what works for them is the most important aspect. For me, being connected to myself helps me make decisions better to take care of my children.”
“Eventually I want to be a full-time mother who works occasionally - and being an actor you have that freedom.”
“I don't believe in being typecast. If I believed it, it probably would have happened to me. You attract what you make.”
“I have absolutely no problem being thought of as an action chick because, quite frankly, very few women have ever done that.”
“I'm a very simple person. I don't use computers.”
“I've never been interested in action movies. Definitely not interested in sci-fi.”
“I just know when I read something if it's something that I want to do.”
“I think everything happens at exactly the time it's supposed to.”
