“I try not to wear foundation unless I have a giant pimple, which sometimes I do. For the red carpet, I may add a brighter colored lip and darker eyes. But my standard is blush and mascara.”

“I'm not a very organized person.”

“I'm happy to just sit in a cafe and watch people. It's my favorite thing to do, for sure.”

“I love shopping in New York just because you walk around and find a little store you've never saw before, and you're like, 'Oh what's that? This is my new favorite place.' I love that about New York.”

“I'm pretty much a thrift shop gal. Flea markets on Sundays.”

“I had a really hard time when I was 16, 17, 18. I started with the eating disorder in high school.”

“I've found all of my apartments on Craigslist. I've got good Craigslist luck. I just sit on my couch and really focus on it, and I've gotten really lucky that way.”

“One of my favorite movies of all time is 'Bugsy Malone.'”

“My mother's a... beautiful woman, and I think, in some way, I felt intimidated by that sometimes.”

“I've stayed away from doing 'urban film' because I just don't relate to the characters. I'm not going to take a role because I happen to have the same skin color.”

“From middle school to the first year of high school, I went to a school in Miami that seemed like a private country club. The whole cheerleader, football player, clique-y thing there was terrifying. Those people were so scary. They're the scariest kinds of people because they are idolized by their peers.”

“In high school, I had a really difficult time just loving myself. It's weird; I feel like in the world we live in today, you're not supposed to be like, 'I'm beautiful,' like that's a conceited thing to say.”

“My dad has totally taken my Cat Stevens T-shirt, but it's OK; I have his Black Flag one, and that's amazing.”

“The '60s is one of my favourite eras in general. I love '60s music, and I've always wanted to do a period film.”

“I think both of my parents are unique in the way they don't live their lives as celebrities. They're both artists, first and foremost. My mom lives a very private life. So does my father. You don't really see them in the tabloids or anything like that. I think that's definitely a decision you can make.”

“When I have trouble sleeping, I'll read, watch old episodes of 'Sex and the City,' or dance around my house. Music helps me wind down.”

“The one thing about art is you can't question it. Everyone is looking at everyone else to find out what's cool. No one knows what's cool.”

“It's superficial that people think I'm cool because I wear certain clothes and I have tattoos. The funniest part is, when they get to know me, they're always surprised by how nerdy I am.”

“The whole Hollywood thing where people want to put me into this 'quirky-fashionista, daughter of' category makes me mad because it's promoting something that I don't believe in, and it's not who I am.”

“Acting and making art is just something I love to do, and I love to tell stories that feel important, honest and necessary.”
