Imagination is a pretty powerful thing, and when you’re in the moment and you’re riding a train and you’re asked to look scared, I don’t know, it just kind of works out.

I think I fall into a lot of cracks in terms of I’m too something. I’m too this, I’m too that. And my music has never really had a home. I’ve been this floating alternative. I’m too mainstream for alternative. I’m too alternative for mainstream. And I’m just kind of wandering.

I try not to think of myself in any category, and I don’t ever really try to imagine myself competing with another actor.

I just kind of want to keep doing my own thing.
My life is spontaneous and things just kind of happen.
The way it works in commercials is they come to you with the script, and then you do the visual, you do the storyboards, and you give your vision of it, but it’s very much their baby.

I feel like every time I start up, it’s like a truck you have to get into 15th gear, so you very solely crank into that mental space where you feel really immersed in the world of the book and then you can just kind of go. But there’s just that few days of frustration to get to that point.
I love the unknown. I love the discovery of what will be happening and just kind of sitting back and not knowing.

You know, Billy Corgan has a big vision. He has a great idea for what he wants to do and how he wants to distribute it and I have always liked Billy and Dave Lagana’s platform as far as being more character-driven and just kind of let us do our own thing and let the talent be talented.

I have a very specific memory of watching ‘Singing in the Rain,’ and looking at myself in the mirror after watching it and perceiving myself as one of those people that I was just watching on T.V. It was just kind of a knowing that this would be the world that I would enter into. And that’s what I did.
I don’t think I think things through like regular people would. I could be a real hateful person, and I also don’t really care about my own well-being, I guess. I just kind of have that knack about me. I just don’t care.
I have little weird things that aren’t really specific but are just kind of odd. I write my 5’s backwards, and I don’t know if anyone would even care, at all.
I just kind of, like, put stuff together. I don’t really try to make it seem like a ‘look.’
I do come from theater. I didn’t spend a lot of time there ’cause once I started in television, I just kind of stayed there.
Being a pop-leaning, female artist, you’d think that I’d have my record company breathing down my neck and trying to control everything I’m doing. Actually, they’ve just kind of let me take the wheel.
I just kind of conjured them up out of my subconscious and put them in order of ascending peculiarity.
The girlfriend roles that we are usually offered are nearly always just kind and supportive. So it is refreshing for women and for men to see something different.
Being from South Louisiana, we’re just kind of rootsy.
Metal is easily my favorite thing – Exodus and Anthrax and Megadeth – so it just kind of organically came through in the standup act.
We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.
I have this theory that I hold on to, the theory that everything great in art and in life in general is jazz. It’s just like all these things that just kind of seem to fall into place. You know, like mistakes that somehow turn into something beautiful.
A lot of people just kind of act as if it’s their God-given right to be overpaid and on TV, but it just feels like there has to be a level of like: ‘This is an exciting thing to be doing.’ It’s not just something that we’re owed.
Tattoos are a thing I’ve never really planned out. They just kind of happen spontaneously, on a whim. It’s kind of like curating a watch collection, it just kind of happens. I like it to happen organically.
I feel like people want there to be this mystery between film and theater, but I just kind of went where I got jobs, you know?
