I'm never going to say anything about who I'm dating unless I'm married or engaged.
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?'
Everyone goes through a hard time in their life.
I don't find I'm manic at all. I'm very chill.
I'm happiest when I'm just hanging out with my friends... it really doesn't matter what we do.
It's hard to get lost in a scene, to get into a character when everyone's standing around you on the set.
My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.
When I go away to do a movie, I bring the blanket I've had since I was a little girl. It helps me sleep. I also always bring my laptop so I can E-mail friends. And I bring my dog, Beauty, wherever I can.
I think every woman goes through a relationship where she is with a guy that is really not right for her. You get lost in it.
The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowlands in 'A Woman Under the Influence,' where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It's that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven't always had the opportunity to do them.
I know kids are supposed to go through these awkward stages, but I just never even thought about that. I was too busy worrying about getting my education while I was working.
In high school I had a boyfriend who was super into rap, so I was into Too $hort and Wu-Tang for a little while. And my best friend's older brother would sometimes drive us home in this pimped-out truck, and he'd play all his dirty rap music. We thought we were really cool.
The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.
I'm a good assistant. That's why I don't have an assistant, because I'm so on it that no one can be as on it as me. I know that.
I'm not someone who feels the pressure of someone else's expectations. That's a very young way to feel.
I think it's best to date someone who doesn't do what you do.
I think for everyone it's good to have your own personal work on a character and a film before you even start rehearsing, to have an inner life.
I never read comics as a kid. I guess I was lazy and watched cartoons instead.
If I saw 'Virgin Suicides' or 'Eternal Sunshine,' I'm so proud to be in those movies. They are such great movies. I felt so free on those sets.
I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.
