“I love all of Kate Winslet’s characters. And Natalie Portman. If I can have a smidgen of what they’ve done, that would be awesome.”

If you look at it, the corset is a very beautiful item, but when I put one on, I realized how little you could actually move.

During the Me Too breakthrough, I was hanging out with Emma Thompson and Emily Watson – two people I’ve looked up to my entire life. Talking to those women was so empowering.

The Falling’ was a big, flashy, bizarre experience. I kept on saying at the time it was a fluke because I did the audition, and I didn’t think anything would come of it.

I think it’s good to not edit your life too much, or you give people different standards.

I remember being about six years old, for the first day of school, and sitting in the back of a Chrysler, pretending to cry while listening to Tracy Chapman.

I like a face that hasn’t been tampered with.

As an actor, it’s very interesting to make the audience love you while you are doing horrendous things.

Throughout my life, I’ve been that annoying kid on every stage at school, in every talent contest.
