"If you feel like you really want to define yourself, and you have the ability to articulate those parameters and that in itself defines you, then do it. But I am an actress, man. I live in the f*cking ambiguity of this life and I love it."
"The public kind of burned me at the stake. But that's OK, I can take it. I'm not dead."

"At one point, you just let go and give yourself to your life. I have finally managed that and I get so much more out of life."
"I used to be embarrassed about how I cry all the time. Now I think it's a gift to feel things."

"If it's not scary, you kind of have to step back and go, 'You're probably making this decision because it's right on paper.' But unless you get that irking fear it's not right."
"I stand by every mistake I've ever made, so judge away."

"You definitely have to be somewhat of a self-involved person to create anything. Most creative people are pretty aware they are a little self-obsessed, but in order to f*cking have faith in yourself and make confident work, you have to be a little crazy and believe in yourself enough to just do it."
"Sometimes, the loudest voice in the room isn't necessarily the one you should listen to."

"I have realized that you can close yourself off to life if you put walls up, but it's a difficult thing. So I've gotten quite comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing: it's not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them."
"It's okay, you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay."
