When I'm Pushed Outside Of My Comfort

I've Never Played A Manipulative, Drug-smuggling Lesbian Before. For Me, It's Pushing Me In An Area That's Great. There Are Days When I'd Read The Script And I'd Be Like, "oh, God, I Can't Believe I Have To Do That."

I Never Think Of Myself As Any Kind Of Sex Symbol, But I Get Letters From All Over, All Sorts. It's Really Cool. I Get A Lot From Inmates, Which Is Kind Of Scary. But The Best Was The Guy Who Wanted To Send Me A Plane Ticket To Fly Me To His Prom.

Well, I Had Done Nudity In One Other Thing, But Nudity For An Actress Is A Very Particular Thing. It Has To Do With The Material, And Making Sure It's Not Gratuitous, That It's Done In A Way That's Shot Beautifully, And It's For A Reason. And I'd Never Played A Lesbian Before.

Food Is A Passion Because I Basically Grew Up In A Kitchen. My Mother Was A Gourmet Chef And I'm The Youngest Of Five Kids. We Would Always Congregate In The Kitchen.
