I’m not cynical about love at all. I’m very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time.
There are a lot of actors who will sit here and talk to you about characters – ‘He does this, and she’s a really interesting character because she does this.’ I’m not like that at all. I’m not an actory actor.
There are so many cute vintage dresses made out of synthetics from the ’60s and ’70s – but they’re so itchy and hot. It’s not worth it!
I like romantic comedy as a genre, but I think it can get stuck in its ways.
I think that if you’re serving yourself before you’re serving a story then that’s where you end up being not funny. It’s not about being funny, it’s about telling a story and then the comedy comes out of the situation, I think.
For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am really into hair. I’m a real girly girl and love doing my hair and experimenting with different styles.
You can’t expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.
I think good actors tend to be really funny.
It’s nice that there are movies and songs about romance – it’s what motivates us as human beings. I’m all for being brainwashed by rom-coms.
I don’t know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, ‘I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.’ That’s a very good way to keep women down.
Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure.
No, I’ve been singing forever. I started out doing musicals. I think that was part of the reason why they gave me the part, because I sang.
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
Nothing could be as hard as middle school.
Romantic comedies are usually about when love works.
I think it’s better to have your personal life and your work life separate. That way they don’t corrupt each other, so to speak.
The first album I bought with my own money was ‘A Hard Day’s Night.’
One of the privileges of doing television is the ability to evaluate my own performance and try to improve upon it. I know what’s working and what’s not working.
When you work on a movie, especially an independent movie, it’s a lot of work to make it! It’s not just our job as actors – so many people are working so hard, and even the littlest movie takes a lot of work.
