I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it's really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.

I was shaped by the heroes in the films I saw, which you always want to emulate and be like. I wanted to be like Alan Ladd, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart.

I always knew I wanted to be in television when I was a kid, and I knew I wanted to model.

Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.

I wanted to be a serious actress rather than a pretty face.

Most actors are like, 'I want to be more like Marlon Brando.' But when I was a little kid, I just wanted to be an action hero! Then I grew up, and my interests were different.

As a kid, I used to sing, dance, I was into dramatics. I would love to pursue being an actor, but not as such as a hero.

My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.

I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.
