I love 'True Blood!' ”

I've stayed away from Twitter for a long time because I sort of didn't trust myself with such an intimate but very public way of relating to the world, but I feel like I've studied it enough. ”

It's interesting to me that I get cast as mothers and really maternal, sweet, nice people... Maybe I have a vulnerability or something; maybe that's what it is. ”

Sometimes I think your face and your bearing and your energy have so much more to do with the jobs you get than the actual work and the time and the effort that you put in, or the talent even. ”

I don't wear sweatpants out as much as I would like. I would prefer to be in sweatpants most of the time. ”

My father raised me from the time I was 12 years old. And it would never occur to me that I wouldn't be strong - I wasn't raised like that. ”

I get cast a lot of times in movies with nice people for some reason - because I have a nice face or something. ”

Mostly I work really unconsciously, and I think if the scenes are really well written, which they are, and if I just throw myself into it, I don't really think about it. ”

I don't connect to a certain girliness or talking about girly things - I feel unauthentic and uncomfortable in that world - maybe I'm just more butch than I realize! I have, however, been fortunate to have a number of great girlfriends. You don't meet as many girls as you do guys in my line of work, so I do cherish my friendships. ”
