New York vintage is too expensive!
It’s always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you’ve affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.
I’ve been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to ‘Stand’ in the mirror.
I would always rather do a mediocre script with a great filmmaker than a great script with a mediocre filmmaker.
I’m always looking for that movie that feels like it’s hitting me where I need it.
I’d like to be taller. I’d like my baby fat to leave.
I would have loved to have been in a Hitchcock movie.
I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn’t afraid of being in front of a camera.
A lot of people my age, they grew up with me onscreen. I think that’s helped keep a certain amount of longevity. When you grow up with a person, you feel like you know them.
After ‘Melancholia’ and ‘On the Road,’ I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if you’re not consistently in those movies, people don’t always think of you for them.
I like to think that death gives life meaning. I like that philosophy.
When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you’re performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who’s dependent on other people’s approval.
If you’re successful at a young age, no matter the profession, there has to come a time when you reevaluate everything, what it means to you. ‘Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?’
When you’re little, you’re open to things. It’s not like you get into this rehearsed zone when you’re a child. At first you play different sides of yourself. And I think it will be really exciting one day to have a character to go into that’s not anything like me whatsoever.
I don’t really want to talk about my personal experience. It’s something that I have talked about just because it came out in the press but I’ve tried to navigate the waters in my own comfort-ability.
You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you’re excited for the day? That’s one of my main goals in life.
When I was little, I put on plays for my family at Sunday dinner, and I would direct them and have all my cousins, my brother, and my best friends in it. I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn’t afraid of being in front of a camera. It was like make-believe to me.
I was a very extrovert kid. It felt normal to me to act. I always went to regular schools. I’ve never been catty or a prima donna, so I never had problems. I always had my seat at the cafeteria when I came back from acting.
It’s nice when the movie is not on your shoulders, too. It’s fun to do a smaller part sometimes.
I can’t imagine having a real personal thing, like divorce and marriage, all those things, being in the public eye. I try to not talk about anything personal, and then nobody has the fire to throw back at you, like ‘You said this back then!’
