There was a period when I really had to ask myself, 'What does acting mean to me?' I'm not someone who's content being famous, with that whole lifestyle. I had to realize I could find a balance between what I like to do and what people think you're 'supposed' to do as an actress.

It's very difficult to put your finger on why a certain actor or actress will capture your attention, and you'll think they're right for a role. There's an essence to a person.

As an actress, I have to be objective about myself. If I don't criticize myself, there are plenty who will do a find job of it for me!

I just have always been so interested in the way actors and actresses present themselves to the world because I think it is very important and it affects the way people see you as an actor.

I know I'm not a conventional beauty. You can read a lot of painful things on the Internet, which criticise you aesthetically - but as far as I'm concerned, that's not what an actress is.

I think making a movie is like drawing or creating an art piece. The artwork reflects part of your personality, but not all.

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.

When you're an actress, you become this thing in people's hands that people are trying to manipulate. I cannot stand it.

What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being.
