I watched 'Alien,' and I watched 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,' the Swedish version. I watched the original 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' and I watched the Jessica Biel version and watched Jessica's performance.
-
Horror films are very effective to me; they have an impact on me. I think that real life things scare me a lot more.
-
'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' I did an episode on, and that's one of my favorite television shows ever, and there are these shows that I watch so regularly.
-
I'm a believer in challenging myself and overcoming challenges by doing things I've never done before.
-
I feel like I'm still at a point where I have a lot to learn from watching myself, so I find that it helps. But it's always weird.
-
To be an actress and act crazy is really fun for me, to be able to be acting like you'd never be able to act in your real life and scream and freak out. It's an interesting test for an actor.
-
It's cool to be a female character who gets to be really strong and tough.
-
There is nothing better than a really cool mystery: you don't know what's going to happen, so you keep turning those pages or watching that series.
-
You remember where you were doing each scene. 'Oh my God, it was so hot that day.' It's kind of cool to see a movie that you haven't seen in a long time and reflect on that stuff.
-
Following your heart and working really, really hard is the best thing you can do, and just try not to be too hard on yourself.

Charlize Theron is perfect. She holds herself with so much poise and grace. I don't know if she looks so good because she has the best body or because she has the confidence to feel comfortable in what she's wearing.
-
I didn't expect anything crazy to happen from 'True Detective.'
-
I'm obsessed with this show called 'Workaholics.'
-
When I was 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, I had so many people I looked up to and was so inspired by all these different people. It's cool to be in that position.
-
I was obsessed with Nancy Drew growing up - I couldn't get enough.
-
I love yoga.
-
Every mistake that you make, or every thing that you might regret, you don't need to necessarily regret it, because it can be a step forward. You just move forward and let them go because there will be a lot of bad auditions, and there will be a lot of negative responses. But that won't last forever.
-
When I have no appointments, I spend the day in pajamas and go to the dog park in pajamas. I'm very casual.
-
Television is going through a transformation where you're basically able to do big, long movies in television.
-
'True Detective' did change my career.
-
Everyone has the opportunity to do a horror film. There's something great about it as an actor. You have to go to places you'd normally never go and be put in situations you would never be put into. You don't get the opportunity in a lot of films to have this kind of acting. It's an interesting challenge.
-
I'm honored that people would think of me for any big role that is talked about a lot.
-
I got a dog. I take him on hikes, and I go to yoga all the time and drink green juice - very cliche actress.
-
I went to an all-girls school for part of high school, and the idea of boys was amazing to me; like, all I ever wanted to do was kiss boys and be around boys.
