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.
-
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.
-
Why would I cry over a boy? I would never waste my tears on a boy. Why waste your tears on someone who makes you cry?
-
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.
-
I used to feel like I had to be the best at what I did, but I realized I don't have to be the best. It's so freeing. I've never been this happy.
-
Being an actress doesn't make you popular in school.
-
I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.
-
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.
-
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 attract a different kind of boy when my hair's red. I get more quality men - like a more thoughtful, nerdy dude.
-
I built my entire career off of teen comedies. I was in 'Bring It On'.
-
When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you're performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who's dependent on other people's approval.
-
The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.
-
I feel very lucky that I don't have to rely on a man to give me financial security. That's a big deal.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn't afraid of being in front of a camera.
-
I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
After 'Melancholia' and 'On the Road,' I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if you're not consistently in those movies, people don't always think of you for them.
-
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.
