Everything that I am going to do as an actress doesn't matter where it's coming from. It just has to be interesting.

Growing up, my parents treated my brother and me with absolute equality.

I think 'NH10' could have been done equally well by anybody else, and it's not a 'female-centric' or 'male-centric' film. It's the story that will appeal to the audience.

I don't think that a film should be known as 'male-centric' or 'female-centric,' but it should be known for the story. That would be really nice, and viable, too.

I grew up in church, and I have a wonderful family that always supported that.

I was lucky enough to have parents who started me on music very early, but most kids don't get that kind of exposure.

Anyone that has a job that takes them away from home, I think, can understand the difficulties in maintaining consistency, not only with your family and those you love but with your friends.

I'm from the Midwest, and I loved my family. I had a very good time as a child, but I was also - I have a theory about Jews growing up in the Midwest, that there is an ultimately sort of wonderful avoidance of a lot of things, and a great acceptance of whatever is happening.
