My tendency as an actor is, when there's a certain energy, I feel a challenge to match it, to come up to that plate and play on the same level.

I feel like I'm the only person - or woman, at least - who hasn't read 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'

I think that there's a tendency for actors who play strong women to have them take on all the worst characteristics of men, to become cold and detached and hardened.

I always feel like I want to work with people who raise my game, and I can do the same for them, and we can jump off the cliff together.

I think when I first started acting there were different people who I thought, 'I want that person's career or that person's career.' And as time has gone on, it's become really clear to me what is important to me; getting the best roles, the roles that I feel are challenging and scary and that I haven't done yet.

Personally, just as an actor, I love accents; they're fun.
