I'm trying to show I'm a trained actress - I can transform myself into different characters. I'm not just an ingenue.
I am a super-confident writer, and as a joke writer and as an actress, I'm like, 'I want to go head-to-head with every person.' I am an Indian woman and I'm a kind of double minority in this world.
Evan Rachel Wood is the best actress I've ever worked with, hands down.
For me, my favourite actresses are like Charlotte Rampling or Gena Rowlands... people who have always stepped outside of the restraints of a certain type of woman or story. I always like those movies the best.
My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.
Charlotte Rampling is someone I've wanted to work with for a very long time. I've always looked up to her as an actress and it's a reason why I feel brave to do a film like Melancholia. So, to me she's the ultimate.
Rosemary Rodriguez directed on Rescue Me for us, and I love her. She's fantastic with actresses and she's got a great sense of humor. That was a huge thing for me.
I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.
The second host that I had was an actress I didn't know named Susan St. James.
I'm an actress, not a celebrity.
