Look, I can carry a baby! I’m gaining weight right, everything’s going well.
That’s always been my philosophy: I try to just be as straightforward as possible, and then I don’t really have to question what I said or regret anything...
I’m just grateful I didn’t have to spend my early 20s in front of paparazzi cameras.
I always have directors who are somewhat frustrated because they’ll reference a beautifully obscure film from the ’50s or ’60s or ’70s, and I’ve not seen it.
I’m like the luckiest girl in the world. I’ve gotten to be a princess, I’ve gotten to work with the Muppets. A lot of my childhood dreams about who I wanted to be when I was a grown-up, I at least get to play them in movies.
If I had a project that I had auditioned for and I was getting close to getting it, I didn’t want to tell anybody because I thought then I wouldn’t get it, but in reality that really had no bearing on whether or not I got a part.
If you’re not excited by it, why do you do it?
I didn’t necessarily fit in in high school. I felt very awkward. I still feel completely awkward and weird in my body sometimes. I’m hoping that’s going to go away, but I’ve just embraced it as reality.
I do believe that you don’t have to act like a man to be strong. You can still be feminine.
I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I’m not the funny one, which works out great.
I always had a larger view. I’m interested in real life – my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.
Falling in love is a crazy thing to do. It’s kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity.
I have a hard time articulating the emotional experience of working on a film. Even when I have meetings on films or discussing them with directors, I find that’s my biggest challenge. Different words mean different things to people.
I’ve always really loved action films, but I don’t see myself as a superhero girl.
I was a huge Ann-Margret fan, and I wanted to be like her.
I like Cinderella – she has a good work ethic and she likes shoes.
You’re nothing to me until you’re everything.
I’m lucky enough to get really interesting and diverse roles offered to me, and I just hope that that continues. I just want to keep expanding as an artist and really try new things.
We’re only here briefly. And while I’m here I want to allow myself joy.
I’m one of seven kids. That’ll keep your ego in check.
I’ve always been really comfortable around athletics, I’ve just never been comfortable playing anything.
