Field of Dreams made me realize that I wanted to live my dreams, to risk things for what I felt and what I dreamt of.
I definitely acknowledge that The Matrix and Trinity had an influence on female action-oriented characters in television and in film. I think it’s awesome.
When you play a doctor, you have to look like you can do it but you don’t actually go and do it.
For me, the biggest thing is someone who’s kind. I’m not into the bad-boy thing.
I just love to play characters that are layered and that I can relate to in some way, even if they’re completely different than me; that I can see a glimpse of humanity and something I’m interested in exploring.
I have no major regrets. I’ve made the conscious decision not to look at life that way. I always try to learn something – to take something away from the situation.
I like stories about the world, where we’re at. I like to explore humanity. I like to explore my own humanity.
You’ll have a guy, and they’re ageing however they’re ageing, and nobody really cares. If you’re a woman, it’s different.
I love to play women who are strong and unapologizing and kind of rough around the edges and don’t care what anybody thinks about that.
Eventually I want to be a full-time mother who works occasionally – and being an actor you have that freedom.
