“You can never get enough of 'Jeopardy.'”
“You know how people say awards don't mean anything? Hello! I think the energy around them makes everyone cuckoo.”
“Pristine vulnerability is just so boring to me. The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowland's 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.”
“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?'”
“It's always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you've affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.”
“I'm never going to say anything about who I'm dating unless I'm married or engaged.”
“I'm a person who likes to hang out. I would never go on a blind date. That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing on the planet earth. It's like, 'Hi. Nice to meet you. So, what kind of music do you like?' Date ended.”
“When I have time off, my friends and I will go to Universal Studios, the movies, out to eat, and shopping. I'm happiest when I'm just hanging out with my friends... it really doesn't matter what we do.”
“I don't gossip about myself.”
“The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.”
“I'm not someone who feels the pressure of someone else's expectations. That's a very young way to feel.”
“I think the best thing about my job is that I have my life documented, which not many people get to have. They have a photo here and there and maybe some video footage from a birthday. My kids will be able to see me growing up.”
“I think most human beings go through some sort of depression in their life. And if they don't, I think that's weird.”
“I just don't want to be the damsel in distress. I'll scream on the balcony, but you've got to let me do a little action here.”
“When you feel good is when you're not afraid to feel the worst.”
“I've been lucky to find people who want to work with me, whom I respect and like, but the truth is there aren't that many good projects out there. And we make way, way too many movies. So it's not always going to happen with every project. But I try and wait it out.”
“I've never had a teenage rebellion; I'm not that type of person. I always work out my problems in a conscientious way.”
“I don't want to be 'box-office girl,' but I don't want to be 'that indie girl' either.”
“Everybody smokes! Models, actresses, everyone! Don't they realize that it's gross? I understand it's an addiction, but it still pains me to see my friends do it.”
“I think it's best to date someone who doesn't do what you do.”
