“When I was very small, I was obsessed with 'Sybil' and Sally Field's performance in 'Sybil.' I was like, 'Oh, my God, I want to do that!'”

“It's just not interesting to play happy people.”

“'Forensic Files' is big in our house.”

“When I'm working, especially when the role is very intense or very demanding, I actually tend to relax just innately afterwards because work relaxes me more than anything.”

“A lot of the time with jobs that I've booked, immediately I'll read the breakdown, or I'll read the script, and I'm like, 'Oh I'd love to do this, but I'm completely wrong for it,' and they tend to be the jobs that I book.”

“I've never really had that whole 'starstruck' part to me.”

“It's a big responsibility, I think, when you play somebody who has existed but also somebody who has just recently passed away.”

“As a painfully shy kid, my fun time was locking myself away and watching movie after movie after movie. Watching a good performance, to me, was like getting a new toy.”

“Because I'm quite small and young looking, anyway, I tend to play younger than I am.”

“I used to lock myself in my room and memorize scenes from films and reenact them when I was alone.”

“You can run into people, and they can be someone you thought you were never going to hear from again or never gonna talk to again, and they end up becoming dear friends.”

“I always enjoy fight scenes and being grubby and bloody and not having to look good. I prefer that very much, as odd as that sounds.”
