ADD QUOTES
- Anna: I look at people who have regular jobs and think that stability must be amazing. And, when you're acting, every emotion is under a magnifying glass, which can be painful. But who doesn't suffer in life?

- Anna: I like acting, and it seems to me that a lot of the gorgeous ones, often it's not exactly acting they're asked to do. Often they're just asked to be gorgeous.

- Anna: I'm usually the girl the audience doesn't want the hero to end up with. In some form or other, I'm usually the ugly sister. I'm never the innocent Cinderella type.
