I just don’t like that you can either be ugly and smart or pretty and dumb, or ugly and nice or pretty and mean.
I have an old soul. I don’t know any real-life lingo, so I have to take it from movies.
My cousin cleaned out a shotgun for me and let me carry it around the house, because he said, ‘Anybody who knows anything about guns is going to know in a second if someone has held a gun before.’ I didn’t want to be that person. I wanted to be practiced.
I always feel like an idiot every time I fly first class because I’m a kid. And I just sit there, and everyone’s got their newspapers and they’re on the computer, and I’m like, ‘Can I get a coloring book, please? Can I get some crayons?’
Whenever I really want a part, I’m not sure what to do. How do I let the director know how obsessed I am and willing to do anything for the movie?
I’m a big believer in accepting yourself the way you are and not really worrying about it.
All I need in a relationship is somebody to watch TV with me.
And when I’m on set, I’m just thinking about the script and of working. I think I’ve stayed focused on the work so much that I haven’t really noticed my life start to change except for I’ve gotten busier.
Things can happen to you, but they don’t have to happen to your soul.
I never studied acting, yet the first time I auditioned and did a cold reading, I surprised everyone for my honesty and limpidity. They told me I could play any role because I have no walls, I don’t put anything between me and the character I have to play.
I do have some kind of gravitational pull towards young characters with more responsibility than they should have.
I’m still getting used to everything. It still makes me a little emotional, just to see how quickly everything kind of changes – that it changes so fast.
You guys are just standing up because I fell, and it’s so embarrassing.
I was a weirdo. I wasn’t picked on or anything. And I wasn’t smarter than the other kids; that’s not why I didn’t fit in. I’ve always had this weird anxiety. I hated recess. I didn’t like field trips. Parties really stressed me out. And I had a very different sense of humour.
I’m the youngest in a family where I didn’t have to take responsibility for much.
As hard as it is and as tired as I am, I force myself to get dinner at least once a week with my girlfriends, or have a sleepover. Otherwise my life is just work.
There are certain times when a certain person says something to me, that will stick with me for a really long time. But I don’t remember one person being my idol, or anything like that.
Better passion and death than any more of these’isms’. No more of the old purpose done up in aspic. Better passion and death.
I don’t trust a girl who doesn’t have any girlfriends.
In real life, bad things happen and they’re not funny, and then bad things happen and they can be funny. When you’re unhappy you don’t go an entire time without laughing. You don’t go your whole life without laughing. It’s just life.
