On creating a “non-nepo” pipeline:

“I created my company, in part, to help provide an ‘in’ for non-nepo babies with fresh perspectives and to be the ‘shoulders for new filmmakers to stand on.’”

On her action packed role in The Bluff:

“It’s not for the faint-hearted. My mom watched it with half her face covered because [it was too] scary.”

“I would go to the ends of hell to protect my family, and we don’t get to see that with women characters very much… [Mary] dishes out all manner of grisly deaths, macheteing groins, blasting open craniums.”

On her failed pop career and unreleased music:

“I quickly realized that I wasn’t made for it and should go back to my day job of acting.”

“They’re in a vault somewhere until I find the confidence to bring them out again.”

On her daughter Malti:

“She’s my miracle baby… I think it’s a preemie mom or a NICU mom thing, but I’m still in constant fear. It’s this feeling that your heart is running outside of your body.”

“[Malti] is the epitome of how incredible diversity actually is… the incredible coming together of two cultures.”
