You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate it was sort of like a strange thing.

I always wanted to be one of those people who were good at many, many things, but from a very early age, I fell in love with acting.

I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person. And there are other parts where you would like to think that you have nothing in common with those characters, but you probably do have more than you think.

Carla Gugino
Image
I think I'm always trying to subvert conventions, and sometimes it's more successful than others.

When my friends have a health concern, they call me. Ive always been a vitamin taker. I also take digestive enzymes and antioxidants, and supplements that help with the thyroid and adrenals for my time-zone changes.

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

Unfortunately, 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that, yes, have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are, and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them.

I always had challenges when I was younger, because I looked so young but sounded older.

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.
