You typically find stereotypical female characters that are people pleasers, where they are wives and girlfriends, typically, who are in the background.

I didn't grow up a huge fan of the Western genre because there was never a female character to relate to or look up to.

I think that, a lot of times in Hollywood pictures, the reality, the messy reality of women's lives - it's avoided, because I think people are just afraid of it. There's a standard that women are set to, to try to keep everybody comfortable.

I want to have a long career.

I think it's very refreshing to see women in cinema having strength and their own independent storyline.

I tried to play sports, which was a disaster and probably one of the reasons I ended up being an actress.

My mom was an artist, and she had this amazing ability to transform everything into something beautiful.

I prefer clean silhouettes that are almost utilitarian, but I'm not afraid to take risks on the red carpet, either.

We all have fears, especially when we're younger. I was afraid of clowns.

I was obsessed with clowns. My dad had to get rid of them. I thought there were clowns under my bed for years.

I always wanted to do things on my own terms, and unfortunately in this industry, that's not something that is easily given. You're at the mercy of other people, but then you still have that drive to continue on. That's an equation for a lot of heartbreak.

I like to accentuate the feminine form, so I'm a big fan of corsets. A woman's body is beautiful and should be shown off and celebrated. I love a simple and elegant dress that highlights my waist.
