I use a lot of sense memory and, well, I can’t really avoid getting into character.
Im a combination between extreme insecurity and extreme confidence.
Going to the darkest place you can to make yourself really upset and adding that with the physicality and running around, you can work yourself into hysteria that way.
When I was little, I thought about becoming a lawyer like my parents, and my mother would always tell me, “You can do anything you want – except be a lawyer.”

I’m a huge fan of Steve Martin. He’s hilarious, but he has this depth to him and this way of dealing with the difficult things in life with a sense of humor that I think has helped me as an actress.
I really love Charlize Theron. I’ve never met her before, but she seems really down-to-earth in interviews, really intelligent and funny and cool – and she’s just this glorious goddess who holds herself with such confidence.
