I can’t deal with someone flashy. That’s so not me.
I wasn’t a social butterfly at all.
Look, some people talk about their personal lives a lot; I try not to, unless it’s more of a generality.
The artist-muse relationship is romantic and passionate, and complex, and I would imagine that would be a hard relationship to have if you’re not with the person. It requires so much of each other, you have to be in love with each other.
When I watch people like Cate Blanchett act, I don’t know what is going on in her life, you just get lost in her performance and that’s what I hope to do as well.
It’s sort of interesting how, when you get older, things that were once so important sort of fall away.
That’s the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing another guy.
You promote your films; it’s part of your job. You do the magazine covers and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely don’t try to make it into any more craziness than it is.
It’s so different when you change your hair color, you’re treated so differently. It’s a very funny experience. It’s fun, I love changing up my hair.
You never grow out of high school sadly.
I prefer to just jump into something instead of put it on the back burner, and I suppose that’s how I deal with most challenging things. I’d rather just attack it head-on.
I keep everything that’s private private.
I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don’t know if that’s just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid, but it’s a different kind of attitude.
I grew up in a small town where everyone wanted to be the same or look the same and was afraid to be different.
At the time, when you’re being dissected and judged it’s pretty brutal, but in hindsight it’s great and – it sounds cliched – you do come out the other side better and stronger.
I was a real loner in high school, even though people assume I was the head cheerleader.
I almost envy people who say whatever they want.
Acting is a life experience. I’m always learning things when I’m making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.
I don’t want to broadcast my personal life because I feel it’s off-putting.
I hold theatre acting in such high esteem that it scares me.
