Goth: "I see myself as a professional feeler."
Goth: "Being an actor requires a lot of self-analysis and reflection. The better you know who you are, the better you are at becoming another person."
Goth: "I want to be a woman who has a little bit more figured out, who doesn't have so many doubts."
Goth: "My only goal is to be the best actress I can be. You have to give it everything. All I have as an actress is the revelation of my soul."
Goth: "I'm always super scared of feeling like a fake."
Goth: "I want to seem completely bare. Especially when I'm reading for a role. I want to reveal myself in the audition room. That's where I'm happiest."
Goth: "Auditioning is like boxing: It keeps me hungry and intense, whether I get the part or not."
Goth: "I don't think about my look that much, to be honest. It's what I've always known, it's what I've grown up with, and I wouldn't ever want to step too far away from my most authentic self."
Goth: "I'm drawn to roles where someone has to struggle or fight."
Goth: "A lot of people get pigeonholed because it makes it easier to understand them - or assume you understand them. I think the way you break away from that is by constantly doing different jobs."
Goth: "I'm very private about my private life. I don't like to go into too much depth about it."
Goth: "I don't think optimism is always the best quality for an actor, in the same way you wouldn't want a super-optimist to be a traffic controller - you want a guy that's really worried about every plane in the sky!"
Goth: "A magician pulls a rabbit from a hat, and actors pull truth from fiction."
Goth: "I think the world is kind of catching on that gender roles aren't so necessary and becoming a lot less defined and starting to become a lot more about the individual and character of that person."
Goth: "What I wear is an extension of how I feel, so it's always changing."
Goth: "Modelling is very two-dimensional. You really don't have to bare anything."
Goth: "When I'm in Brazil, I'm not Brazilian at all; I am a gringo. And then when I'm in England, I'm not really English, but when I lived in Canada, I was considered too English. So I never really felt like I clicked somewhere or that I belonged to one place."
Goth: "I think any actor, if they had the choice, would opt for challenging roles that test their capabilities."
Goth: "If I'm having a stressful day, I can look at the sky and feel centered again and realize I'm just a tiny little dot in this whole universe and that, actually, everything's going to be just fine."
Goth: "I love horror because you can never just sit back in your seat. You always have to be on the edge of it."
Goth: "If I had not become an actress, I would be a journalist or a psychologist: I like to analyze the mind and be involved in political moments that change history."
Goth: "Being an actor is a nomadic profession, and I just try to feel at home wherever I am at that moment."
Goth: "I remember putting mascara on when I was 13 for the first time and going to the shop to buy a chocolate bar. I felt so exposed. I remember wearing a bra for the first time and feeling very exposed by that."
Goth: "It's not the actor's job to be interesting; that's the script's job. It's our job to be truthful and brave."
Goth: "When I finish a film, I want to feel drained. I want to feel like I couldn't have possibly done any more to service a character and a story."
Goth: "There's a lot of power and responsibility that comes with owning who you are as a woman."
Goth: "I really wanted to go Russia. I'm really interested in Russian history, so I'd like to go and put a face to what I've read."
Goth: "For the most part, I don't do anything to my brows. They aren't bleached, just naturally light. Maybe when I was a little kid, I thought they were strange, but I realized as I got older, the things that make you different are the things that are special about you."
Goth: "I am obsessed with cinema and its history."
