It's hard because I seek out strong female roles. I turn down a lot of stuff, not because it's not good, but because I don't want to play certain types of characters. I don't like to just play the pretty girl.

I'm always looking for that sense of fun and adventure and even unlikeability. I don't want to be the obvious leading lady. I have the most fun playing these girls who are a little damaged and maybe a little insecure and trying to overcompensate for it.

I'd like to play passionate women, but no one will let me.

I like to play a strong woman, but a strong woman can also be very fragile and vulnerable at the same time.

I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal. And to me that's something I'm working on now. I'm not really that difficult or complex a person, so it's interesting to me that it's just so much harder for me to play an everygirl.

I just always want to play people. I don't want it to be necessarily that you relate to the character as female or male, but that you relate to them as a person. That's the driving force.

There seems to be a theme running through the women I play. They take their circumstances and try to make the best of them.

I often play women who are not essentially good or likable, and I often go through a stage where I hate them. Then I end up loving and defending them.

I love to play women who are strong and unapologizing and kind of rough around the edges and don't care what anybody thinks about that.

I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.
