You're Either Going To Walk Through Life

I Love Just Sitting Quietly Meditating. With An Hour Free, It Depends. I Love Getting Down On The Floor And Playing With My Kids.

I'm Interested In Going Places That I Haven't Been. And I'm Interesting In Working With People That I Feel Are Dangerous And Sort Of Push Me In Different Places.

I Look For Roles That Show Women As Independent, Informed, And Free To Make Their Own Decisions.

In Particular, For My Character, Celeste [in Big Little Lies], There Was A Way In Which We Wanted To Present Her, Because She Has Sort Of Barriers That She Has To Put Up For Protection Because Of Things That Are Going On In Her Life. Yet She Wants To Be, I Suppose, Very Presentable But Neutral.

My Parents Thought It Was Nice To Develop My Imagination, But They Never Seriously Thought That Anything Would Ever Come Of It. They Said That I Couldn't Be An Actress Because I Would Be Taller Than All My Leading Men, So I Thought I Would Be A Writer Instead.
