Quotes

1. "I hope to be known as a chameleon actress, as someone who can play any part out there, and someone who can transform herself into any kind of character there is."
2. When asked if she would ever be on a reality tv show: "I'm not allowed to do that stuff. I'd love to do it and I wish I could, but I'm not allowed to. I would do it if there weren't cameras on. It's just that it's not the kind of career move I should be making right now."
