"I'm never sure what's coming next, but I'm an open minded person and I welcome any challenge."

Challenge

"It's not that I don't want to become famous or that I'm obsessed by my work as an actress, but it's all about not limiting myself, such as putting myself in a little jail that I can escape from."

Work

"I was concerned about that, because I've always been so specific about doing independent films, but I've never done anything that's so genuinely and ridiculously fun. And that's a great thing, for me to discover that that's possible."

Fun

"I do tend to take time off. A year and a half ago I went to film school, and before that I had taken years off at a time to be involved politically or this or that."

Time

Change

Mom

Problems

"I always look for an intense experience, an intense ride. There is nothing better than a good zombie movie where you run crazy and blow at monsters! It was a physical shoot and I enjoyed it."

Experience

"I think that we need to get along together if we want to survive in the twenty-first century."

Want

"Lately I did a film called All I Want for Christmas and it was well received. This gave me a new point of view and a new respect for my work as an actress."
