I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.

I don't know when acting came to be more about awards than about the work. Judging who's better than the other person shouldn't be part of why we're doing this job. It should be about entertaining people.

My sexuality is something I'm completely comfortable with and open about. There's a lot of prejudice toward us but the more people talk about it, the less of a big deal it will be. And that will be better for everyone.

I was never overexposed and work never became a chore. I was a very good girl wanting to do a good job.

I still don't really think about acting that much. I just do it.

People are incredibly literal sometimes in how they view you. You have dark hair and pale skin? You must be brooding. The second you dye your hair blond and get a spray tan, people treat you as if you're a bit stupider and happier.

You find happiness where you find it.

Image
I think, generally, most people can't maintain anything that's particularly strict for very long. I watch people trying and failing to do that a lot.

It's great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you're leaving your other life behind.

Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.

I think any time you take on touchy subjects, you're going to offend some people, or you're going to please others.

I like hiding somewhere, like, say on a bus street in a doorway, and taking pictures without people knowing - which sounds really creepy....You get some of the most interesting pictures because people are walking past not realising you're there.

Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!

There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives.

I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.
