I want to play an action hero. I'm ready for roles that totally aren't me.

I just don't want to be the damsel in distress. I'll scream on the balcony, but you've got to let me do a little action here.

I don't think roles help you resolve your issues. I just think they're good markers.

I don't want to be 'box-office girl,' but I don't want to be 'that indie girl' either.

Pristine vulnerability is just so boring to me. The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowland's in 'A Woman Under the Influence,' where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It's that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven't always had the opportunity to do them.

I just want to be a good friend to people, that's all.
