Even now that I’m married and 28, my room’s still intact the way it was when I went to high school.
I had to take driving lessons in New York, which were really weird because it’s not the safest thing in the world.
I will not go on a blind date.
People spend so much time in their cars, and it’s a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit, and you get to invest in your car. For some people, it becomes their baby.
I think movies should illuminate and teach, but that’s for a certain genre.
When I was really young. My sister and I would create different characters with our Barbie dolls – I’d be the crazy diva Barbie and she’d be the homeless Barbie.
There was one day when I just didn’t feel like I could do weight training after my cardio, so I didn’t. You do have to know when to stop, or you can hurt yourself.
I like having a routine, because everything else is so unpredictable.
I think that unless you grew up in New York or Chicago or Los Angeles, you’re sheltered.
Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you’ve ever wanted to work with and admire.
I’m saying my rosary every day.
I’d love to be a Bond girl. I mean, if you’re going to be stereotyped, there are worse things to be stereotyped as.
I work out with a trainer five days a week.
I think the play on words for ‘Punky’ Brewster has definitely played itself out.
I think escapism is really important.
I moved to New York when I was 10, from Rio de Janeiro. So there was no need for driving: I took the subway, cabs and the bus.
I feel like directing is an innate talent.
I already have a production company called J Squared and we’re working on two projects.
At school, I basically wear one pair of jeans and sneakers for months on end.
I once owned a really, really ugly pair of white leather boots. They were so bad. It was back in the ’80s! It was just a really tacky fashion choice when I was in middle school, and I thought it was cool. I’m really embarrassed.
Also, when you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose colored glasses when you remember it.
