Personal quotes
"I can't think of anything I want and need that
I don't already have but at the same time, I'm not sated..."
"When
I'm working on a performance, I'll go sideways for a
while before I go straight up. If I'm trying something
in a take and it's not working for me, I will absolutely
exhaust the idea in myself before a change will occur
to me. And I almost need to do that. It's the way my
neurons work."
"You
just don't flaunt your stuff. Mama says it wouldn't
be polite. You don't talk about your love life or how
much money you make or personal things."
"I have
these little talks with myself. I call it an attitude
pep talk. I say, 'Ashley, this is not one of those moments
you pray God sends a thunderbolt to make it better.
Girl, you just endure.'"
On her engagement
ring... "It's a cushion cut and Dario organized
the entire proposal. He got the ring without asking.
Loving cars the way he does he has a lot of opinions
about design. He has a developed asthetic."
