I seek speed, clarity, and a practical approach in people I mingle and work with. I can't see myself working in films that stretch beyond maximum four months.

Going to film school taught me how much I already knew, and that the best way to learn about film is being on the set with professionals.

It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.

I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.

I'm extremely particular how my look should be in a film.

You can work really hard on your physicality, on your craft, on the films you do. You can choose the best of directors, the best of productions, get the best technicians, you can put your entire body and soul into the making of a film, but at the end of the day, it all depends on the mood of that one audience member that goes into that theater.

I made a commitment to myself; that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference. It has to move people.

You have to want to be in the company of those you're making films about.

Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.

On a film, you do your own work, you come together and meet on set, and then you shoot. It's great.
