I don't live in the spotlight, and I don't live my life in front of the paparazzi. I live very comfortably and quietly as possible.
-
You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you're in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens.
-
It's such a private thing - 'my process' - I can just say that the work that I do is like therapy between me and the character.
-
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.
-
Being an actress doesn't make you popular in school.
-
A lot of moms give their kids line reads. My mom wasn't put in that position because I always had an acting teacher helping with the feelings rather than how to say something.
-
I attract a different kind of boy when my hair's red. I get more quality men - like a more thoughtful, nerdy dude.
-
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.
-
But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts.
-
I feel like I could never walk around a film half-naked. I definitely wouldn't want to see that.
-
I don't find I'm manic at all. I'm very chill.
-
I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.
-
The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.
-
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.
-
You don't really know who you're going to fall in love with at what time in their life. They can be the worst off they've ever been in their life, but you can't help who you fall in love with. That's part of the excitement of life - new people, new experiences.
-
I was a very extrovert kid. It felt normal to me to act. I always went to regular schools. I've never been catty or a prima donna, so I never had problems. I always had my seat at the cafeteria when I came back from acting.
-
You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're excited for the day? That's one of my main goals in life.
-
I feel very lucky that I don't have to rely on a man to give me financial security. That's a big deal.
-
Every movie I do, I always use things that have happened in my life. Funny moments, anything. If it just sticks out I'll write it down and use that, too, because it has to come out of you. But no one can work when they're depressed. I don't think I'd physically be able to do it if I were depressed.
-
I feel like everyone directs their own career according to their taste, what they migrate to emotionally and what kind of artists they want to work with.
-
I built my entire career off of teen comedies. I was in 'Bring It On'.
-
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 was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn't afraid of being in front of a camera.
-
I love to produce, and I've directed two short films.
