That's the beauty of being an actress, is that you hopefully get to have different roles and really stretch yourself. This is really what I've been working for a while. I've been in the business for a minute, and it's an opportunity like this that I've been really working towards.

I've learned that it's way harder to be a baby. Everything is a struggle for her. For instance, I haven't thrown up since the '90s and she's thrown up twice since we started this interview. Motherhood is cake compared to what it's like to be a baby.

I'd love for my ambition and will and intellect and sense of humour to define me as well. I'm definitely responsible for the image that I put out there. But it does become frustrating, because I don't want 'sexy' to be my defining characteristic.

I'm very free with my sexuality, but not everywhere all the time. I pick and choose when I do nudity, and who I do it for when I'm working, and when I'm doing it. I've done nudity twice in a film.

It's fun to be a woman. It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs.

People are incapable of stereotyping you you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype

I'm drawn to look tough. The arched eyebrows are just there - I don't do them like that. I have strong features, but I wish I could be tougher.

The biographies are very enlightening because you realise, Oh my God, all these people I’ve admired - and tried to emulate even - when I was younger died tragically from substance abuse.

I still go to acting class. I love the craft. It's just so much fun for me, and I'm always a student.

I don't come from a wealthy or privileged background, and growing up I was always looking for the best quality at a price I could afford. My love of vintage is rooted in that. Drugstores were the mecca for the latest makeup trends and products.

I'm not an exhibitionist. But, honestly, for my art I'll do anything almost. I'll go there.

I think now we just know way too much about our celebrities. It's not that interesting when you know that much about people.

I do think once I get into expectations, I've just trained myself. I've just trained myself to just move on to the next.
