As an actor, I'm always so excited about those things that I get to stretch my legs and really get to do something that's hard to do.

My husband is someone who's in the real world. It's a big help that I don't have both feet in Hollywood.

For me, as an actress, being a dancer has helped me. I've done it with my feet bloody.

I think of being an actor as kind of a young man's gig. It's emasculating, in a way, people messing with you and putting make-up on you and telling you when to wake up and when to go to sleep, holding your hand to cross the street. I can do it up to a certain point, and then I start to feel like a puppet.

One half-conscious thought was burned in my mind: stay on your feet.

More than anything, what we do as actors is to sit and watch, and I would never want to get so lost in the celebrity bubble I couldn't do that because my feet no longer touch the ground.

Acting... honestly, I'm so uncomfortable and so awkward that I could never think about setting foot in a theater room or acting class.

A great deal of my battle, as an actor, is to whittle away the things that make me self-conscious and try to trick myself into not being self-conscious. So, it's always a challenge, whether I'm lying in a hospital bed or flying around with a rocket pack on my back, or what have you. On the best of days, it's a challenge for me.

I really respond to putting myself out of my own depth and finding my feet.
