Actress

I believe in nurturing the inner world.

I'm a fan of music, some rock music. But I like many types of music. But I suppose a kind of longstanding love of specific bands would be Radiohead, Wilco, Neil Young, Tom Waits, REM.

I've never had a game plan. It's just if something comes along and it feels right in the moment.

My 20s were totally bonkers. I was living out of a suitcase and burning the candle at both ends. But I tell you - I am totally over it.

I think it's important to relax in general. I don't try to save up my relaxing for one month period of the year; it's kind of a daily practice that I've tried to remain aware of.

I prefer comedies when they come from a dark kind of place and have a reality to it.

I like being married, but it was never something I felt I had to do.

I wish I had more patience.

There are actors who are really fantastically talented at being natural on screen and appearing to be themselves, but I like the challenge of becoming somebody else.

The people who are most attractive to me are those who feel most comfortable in their skin - there's a sense of self-acceptance.

Sometimes it was so quiet, it's frightening. It really prioritizes things.

I love holidays. It's such a wonderful time for the whole family to be together and not have to worry about schedules and that kind of thing.

I love kids, so working with them wasn't a problem.

We were just covered in dirt the whole time. It was so hot - and that was in winter. I can not imagine what it's like in summer and how the people who actually live out there survive.

People are so fearful about opening themselves up. All you want to do is to be able to connect with other people. When you connect with other people, you connect with something in yourself. It makes you feel happy. And yet it's so scary - it makes people feel vulnerable and unsafe.
