I like to play people who are deeply flawed, and I want to find the good nature in them. I even try to be kind to myself when I've made big mistakes.

I try to be kind to people, to treat them with respect. And I'm proud of that.

My mother opened a bank account for me when I made $60 on my first day of work as an extra. She's that kind of mother.

I tend to always love material with flawed protagonists and morally ambiguous people.

I made a commitment to myself; that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference. It has to move people.

What I consider a good part for a woman and what some other Hollywood people think are good women's parts are very different. I don't want to play the supportive girlfriend who has nine scenes and just loves that man, maybe cheats on him in one scene but will always be there, and I mean - give me a break.
