You can change your fate. You can sit back, or you can go after your life and all that you want it to be.

I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream. I never thought this would ever happen.

Growing up in a lower-income family, you don't have the resources to make ends meet and you have to find creative ways to get by.

To me, working out is literally like eating a meal or drinking water or breathing.

I cut coupons, love specials and believe in buying toilet paper and toothpaste in bulk. It's just who I am.

There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.

One thing I've learned: You never know where life is taking you, but it's taking you.

I think that we're all continually searching for who we are, and that's ever-evolving and changing.

You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?

I believe that the definition of luck is when preparation meets with opportunity.

My biggest growth has been sitting with things that are uncomfortable and dealing with them.

I love doing interviews that are about work that I do, films that I make. I am not very interested in the rest. I think I have always been quite reserved and a bit frightened of that whole thing.

In 'A Royal Affair' I had to learn to act like a queen and learned Danish. It's so much different to act in another language. It's the nuances in the words.

I guess people might just get tired of my face.

I never really feel like I'm sure a film's gonna happen until I'm maybe halfway through.

I think I'm a big romantic, so being part of those stories, that’s such a big part of anyone’s life in general, that’s such a humane thing.

I was able to actually combine dance and acting, which was a dream come true.

I still love to see the ballet. And I love to boogie.

I love New York, and I would love to try to live here for a while if I ever got the chance, but it's also extremely hectic. I don't think I would cope with that.
