“I sing some songs but don't expect me to release an album anytime soon.”
“I'm drawn to roles that have real substance, that aren't just the victim or the teenage girl or the girlfriend.”
“I think it's just important to not judge people based on their physicality because it's really about personality and people's hearts and souls. That's what drew me to Audrey Hepburn who is kind of like my icon.”
“I sang for 'Mirror Mirror.' I love singing.”
“I'd love to dive into a comedy.”
“I feel like what Director Bong is so amazing at is taking so many things and presenting them to you - never telling you how to think, but, if you leave the theater thinking something, we've done our jobs right.”
“When I went through my eating disorder, I never sought medical assistance. I created myths in my head about how I should get through things, so the idea that I could surround myself with truth and feel comfortable enough to speak mine allowed me to breathe.”
“My mom is such a strong, independent, strong-willed woman, and she always taught me to accept my worth for how I viewed myself and female empowerment, and it's okay to be independent and also need someone at the same time. I kinda get to be both.”
“I think it's important to figure out you and to have fun and to be dating and to figure out what you like and what you don't like. It's what growing up is all about.”
“The journalist in me always loved relating and socialising and connecting with people, but there came a point where I needed to make a decision to stop that being my focus and really focus on acting - an audience are only really going to believe me as a character to an extent if they don't know me as Lily that well.”
“I did a show when I was two, but I didn't start acting as a child. I wanted to go to school every day and be with my friends and really have that experience.”
“I'm trying to be the most vibrant version of myself.”
“At a party recently I was introduced to Meryl Streep, and it took me a second to get my head around it. You know, that I'm meeting these people now. I'm doing it.”
“Makeup, in general, is amazing.”
“It's really important to stand up for yourself and not always agree with what people say if indeed you don't feel that that's true.”
“When you surprise yourself and you can't remember what the take felt like, then something transformative has happened.”
“I just want to start conversations. I want to do films that prompt conversations - whether that is positive, negative, indifferent - just ones that you leave the theater wanting to know more, wanting to watch the film over and over again.”
“Hollywood in the 1930s is an incredible period of history. There are so many amazing stories about the stars and the studios at that time that you can't fit into one film.”
“I get kids who say, 'Oh, I love your movie, but my mum loves your dad.' It's really nice to be able to share that with him, but it doesn't define who I am career-wise.”
“Never once does 'Snow White' herself look in the mirror so she isn't aware of her beauty or what apparently that does to people. It's really just the queen and the prince that talk about it.”
