For years, I was considered “the stupid blonde”and I didn't want to be the stupid blond. I wanted to be an actor. And a lot of people still can't see through that shit. Even critics, you know? They used to make out that I was only in the film as eye candy. That annoyed me because I take my work enormously seriously. When I do something it has to feel right. Everything has to be right. I'm not ambitious about my career, but I am ambitious with each job. I can be fairly annoying to work with. No compromises. Let’s put it this way: compromises are from hell.”
