When I was a kid, I was into psychological thrillers. When I was 12, my favorite movie was 'Thirteen.' I just really liked movies that showed an extreme range in acting. That's what made me want to become an actress.

I like that New York sensibility where you can be edgy, but still super-glamorous.

I did some pretty crazy stuff that I never thought I would do, for the sake of a movie, like surfing in eight-foot waves in pitch-black darkness, where I can't see anything. That still haunts me, kind of, in my nightmares, but it was worth it, it was fun.

When you're connected to the ocean, you really don't think about what's going on with your email or texts or any of that. You're just a lot more liberated.

The kind of career that I want is not easy as a lady to manifest, because everyone wants a lady to be likable.

There's never a surefire good career move except doing good work.

Accept business only at a price permitting thoroughness. Then do a thorough job, regardless of cost to us.

A huge part of my career and how I want to participate in the world is being unapologetically myself and being honest and vulnerable.
