I smoked for almost 10 years. I really regret that. Thankfully, I came out on the other side. I hope my lungs are repairing themselves now.

I have nice muscle tone in my arms. I can't really take credit for it, though - all the members of my family do. A lot of arm wrestling happened in our family growing up!
I think that weird rumor or idea in Hollywood that people don't want to see female-driven movies couldn't be further from the truth. Women buy tickets to movies.
If you look at 'Breaking Bad,' nothing lacks.
If I find anything vintage, I'll have it tailored for my body.
I think there's a misconception, often times, I think society portrays truckers as people who can't get a better job or maybe uneducated, and I think that's a really unfair assessment.
I really believe in less is more in terms of makeup. I try not to wear too much foundation. I like to see my skin coming through. I like to see my freckles. I just think that's the most youthful look.
I think, typically, sci-fi can be a little bit grey and thought provoking. Sometimes it leaves you pondering certain questions and things.
I am a firm believer that you can make a difference in someone's life - whether they're thousands of miles away, or on your own block.
It's an interesting opportunity to do a long-form character and really have the time to find the nuance over an extended period of time. You can really dig deep.
It's really challenging to play comedy.
I'm not too modest of a person. I've got a pretty blue sense of humor.
I don't really look like I do in any of my films.
I think if you find that you're making a judgment on the character, than your audience will make a judgment on the character.
I'm not so Hollywood; I live in New York, so it's very normal. I don't have many friends in the industry. My friends come from all sorts of different backgrounds and careers.
I really want to do good work. I really do. My priority isn't stardom.
I can't imagine anything more debilitating, anything more challenging, anything more thrilling than to get on a stage and do any kind of play. It is such a vulnerable place for any actor to be in.
I live in L.A., so layers are essential to my wardrobe. I like slim silhouettes, typically, and I love good tailoring.
I want to be inside Nic Pizzolatto's brain.
As much as I can and am able to, with the projects that are presented to me, I try to just really choose things that are challenging and are something I haven't tackled before.
When I was growing up, my parents took in foster children. From a young age, I learned that there are a lot of children in need.
I come from a very working class background. My dad worked in a factory for 40 years. We all put ourselves through school.
I graduated with a class of 35 people. We had basically just enough people to actually have a play.
I was just fascinated with how everyone else in the world lived, and I was interested in telling their story.
I'm still really fascinated with characters and people and telling their stories.
I really love the festival circuit.
I don't really think too much about special effects because that's not really something I can clearly visualize, so I leave that to the pros.
We're all flawed people at the end of the day; I don't know any perfect people.
I will say that 'Source Code' proved to be a very tricky film to shoot.
Some days I really love being a mom, and some days I don't! It's crazy - I'm tired of packing lunches!
