We have this idea of perfection that is so unrealistic. We are our own worst enemy. No one is noticing that little scar.
I'm this little Canadian Jewish girl, and I'm living my dream.
I've always dreamed of doing a period piece, I just never knew what it would be.
I love doing voice-over. It's so fun.
I have to be honest, I am a true jeans and t-shirt girl.
I had to deal with death at a really young age.
Never reveal your insecurities to a man, because nine times out of 10 they have no idea they even exist.
There's material that I read that I fall in love with, and I always get a little bit sad because I know that, when I fall in love with it, almost everyone else is falling in love with that same piece. Getting the crack at doing that thing that, in my soul, I know I have to do it, that's the role.
I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, wow, that's a really wonderful man.
My career has been successful, but it's been a grind of hard work.
Men really respect a woman who's in their power and who isn't afraid just to speak up. I feel that it's something to practice. When you hold yourself with integrity, they respond real well.
Acting is not glamorous. It's not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time.
My elbows are double-jointed, so I can flip them inside out.
For the record: I wear makeup. All. The. Time. But I do it in a way that looks natural.
Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.
Someone once told me that the most dynamic actors are people who have stories. People who have lived life. People with experiences.
I always describe my career as something where nothing ever popped overnight.
I'm a very cerebral person and I like to do my homework and break it down. I like to feel like I did my due diligence. It's a confidence factor for me, as an actor.
I really think the Bible is a baseline where all stories come from. All of the zillion stories in the Bible provide inspiration for everything.
I got an Apple TV and hooked it up right away. Undeniably, this is the way of the future, period. It just is, and that's cool. What's cool about this is that we got to do something so playful, cool, kick-ass and over-the-top.
I think the dream role is getting the opportunity to really sink my teeth into something and transform in the role.
That's really empowering - people recognize that I care about other things.
Most actors want to sink their teeth into amazing material.
I feel like I want to be known first and foremost for my work.
I have a theory that most people in Hollywood are from Texas.
