Every day, you try something new. So I just try to keep myself healthy physically and nutritionally.

I used Vamps as a casting couch! I pretty much did, because I was casting 'L!fe Happens' while I was on the set of Vamps, and anybody I had ever worked with, I asked to be in this movie.

I've watched 'Clueless' as many times as humanly possible. Like, I would run home from school to watch it. Like, I can quote it backwards.

I like to be stylish and edgy, but also low maintenance.

I'm having a great time. I get to travel and see the world. And yeah, I'll have a family, because I don't want to miss out on that amazing experience, but it's not defining who I am.

I have a new little stray dog that I've had for about a month now. His name is Mikey Mohawk - he's this little terrier with a natural Mohawk. My friend found him hit by a car on Pico Boulevard.

I'm the only person in the entire world who has never see 'Dawson's Creek.'

My parents actually wanted me to join the service.

I've never been a fearful person. When I was growing up, I wanted to be an actress, a writer, and a musician and I never really processed that those are the three hardest jobs - I just never even processed it.

I've always lived out of a suitcase. I was in a new city every three months. When I was a model, I traveled the world, and as an actor you're traveling from movie set to movie set. So I've never been in one place long enough for anything super-bad to happen.

I'm not conventional. I try to be raw and vulnerable and gross.

I understand the feelings of being the outcast and the loner.

I encourage girls to lean in, use your brain, get in there, get in the conversation.

I'm not a wallflower, and I encourage girls to live that way.

If someone says, 'I love 'Jessica Jones!'' I just say, 'Thanks, I love you back!'

After I've knitted for a while, I feel like I just woke up from a nap. And what's awesome is that then you have a product! You have something you made with your hands!

My gram taught me to knit when I was little, and then I came across my old knitting tools when I was cleaning out my closets after 'JJ' season one and got right back into it.

I never imagined myself playing a superhero because I don't see myself the way superheroes have been portrayed or shown to me my entire life.

I'm a lanky girl, naturally.

If I'm not working, I don't even put makeup on.

If you see a dog in a hot car, and you think that he's in danger or that he's been there for a while, it's good to speak up... Go into whatever businesses it's parked outside of, and just raise awareness about it.

It's hard to find that perfect dress that makes you feel like a million bucks. I've found a few, and I wish I could wear them over and over and over again on red carpets.

When you prepare for something, you can then play around; you're not as worried about remembering your lines because you already know them so well. That's where you can find the freedom. So I'm all about prep work.

It's exciting to originate Jessica Jones. There's obviously more freedom in that versus playing a well known character.

'Sharp Objects' is honestly one of my most exciting reading experiences.

I'm an actress, and I write, and I produce stuff. I have a guitar, and I have my knitting stuff. I have a lot of things going on; I love to not ever put all my energy into one thing fully.

Jessica Jones is such a great part, and I do serious work on it. I feel really creatively fulfilled.

I didn't want to play the wife of some guy my dad's age.

There are a lot of times when Jessica Jones is alone in her house, and there's no dialogue. She's rough around the edges, so getting to spend that time with her and see her be vulnerable and process the weight of her world is what makes the character so likable.

It's hard to fight in high heels or even jeans that are too tight. You can't kick in skinny, skinny jeans.

Any time you get to play or dress differently or look differently, as an actress, that's incredibly exciting.

I worked with my acting coach one-on-one for hours and hours, every single day for two months, before even setting foot on set or putting on Jessica Jones's clothes.

I'm from a small town, a farm, a hundred acres.

Thematically, I like playing with the ideas of stuff that you try to bury, and you think will go away, but instead you carry it with you until it becomes crippling. And sometimes you have to look back and deal with some stuff in order to truly move forward.

It's hard to always be reduced to the way you look or your sex appeal or what that is.

I live in Los Angeles, mostly, and have a lot of girlfriends and a full life out here.

I kept telling people, 'I really want to do something like 'Breaking Bad,'' and then people would remind me, 'Krysten, you were on 'Breaking Bad!''

For me, rehearsal is very important, and I spend a lot of time doing it. Also, I work with my acting teacher for hours and hours before walking onto any set.

I don't fight for much, but when I fight for something, it's usually because I think I'm going to be right.

I'm sort of missing that part of my brain where I look at anything as a challenge. I always have.

The most rewarding thing is having a job that you love. It's not a luxury that everyone in this world enjoys.

What I'm doing is making sure that I have a balance, and that allows me, I think, to be a better actor and to more easily and quickly access all of the emotions on the scale. I make sure that I read a book on the weekend or read something or do my knitting or do the things that I need to do for myself, like 'Game of Thrones.' Get that balance.

If they want to do a 'Defenders 2,' I'm in.

I didn't know how to throw a punch - why would I? Who knows how to throw a punch? Now I do it all the time, and it makes me feel strong.

It's really hard to sell a script, and it's even harder to get a movie made. It just almost never happens.

If you really want something, you've gotta just do it and not wait for other people to hand it to you.

Sometimes, as an actor - and I've witnessed this with other actors that I've worked with - you don't realize that it's not all about the actor.

I have a lot of girlfriends. That's sort of my whole thing is, I have really, really deep friendships, more so than anybody I've ever met.

I'm a total girl's girl.

I'm all about time management. I have gotten my makeup prep in the morning down to, like, four minutes. There's just not enough time in the day.
