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.

Now God be praised, I will die in peace.

Faith is central to my life. I am who I am, I do what I do because of my faith.

I fear God and next to God I mostly fear them that fear him not.

I believe all of my talents come from the Lord. All of my talents are God-given - that's how I was able to write music without any professional musical training.
