During the day, I'm constantly reapplying hand cream. My grandma used to do it all the time, so maybe I got it from her.

Social media has allowed me to communicate with girls all over the world. It's always been really important to me that they know I experience the same things that they do and face the same insecurities.

I didn't want to have people open doors for me. My dad never made a call on my behalf to anyone - not to a producer, a director, or a casting agent.
Lily Collins -
I find that I'm really attracted to mysterious creatives, and I love people that are able to put their emotions out there for not just the world to see, but just that are giving of their emotions, but a little bit mysterious and elusive as well.
Lily Collins -
You always hope someone will take you under their wing and teach you - when it's Warren Beatty, it's like, 'Oh my God, how is this real?'
Lily Collins -
I love mixing in high street stuff and vintage.
Lily Collins -
I always loved dressing up and telling stories.
Lily Collins -
I love getting oxygen facials because I travel a lot. My skin gets pretty dry with all the airplanes.
Lily Collins
-
I don't like reading things that people say on the Internet because I know so much of it is not true. I don't want to waste my time worrying about what other people are thinking. I just want to focus on being able to do cool projects.
Lily Collins -
Regarding scripts and projects, I've always been open to reading all sorts of genres and never closing myself off to one, because you never know what you might find.
Lily Collins -
It used to bother me - having bigger, fuller brows. I even plucked them once so I'd fit in, but I hated them and couldn't wait for them to grow back. Now I embrace them. I realized the quirky things that make you different are what make you beautiful.
Lily Collins -
I really, really love Lucy Hale.
Lily Collins -
I remember lying in bed one night when I was 15 and deciding I was ready to go into acting properly. I'd put it off until then because I didn't feel I was ready to handle the rejections.
Lily Collins -
But the thing is, I was never looking at a strategic way of gaining fame. That's not why I'm doing this.

My parents read me fairy tales every night and I used to believe I was a fairytale princess, like every young girl. I had all the Disney dressing-up costumes and would play every character.
Lily Collins -
So much has changed since the '70s and '80s when it comes to acting and being in the public eye. We'd go out to a restaurant, and there would be five or six people. Now there's a lot more, plus social media, and this desire to bring other people down.
Lily Collins -
I've only ever known growing up across different countries - to me it's just fun.
Lily Collins -
Everything for me has happened so quickly. I finished shooting 'The Blind Side' not this past June, but the June before, and all of sudden up to now, it seems like it's gone from zero to 60 for me. I feel so fortunate to be able to say that.
Lily Collins -
I'm very British at heart. When I come to England, I say I'm coming home, and then it's funny: when I leave England to go back to L.A., I also say I'm going back home.
Lily Collins -
I believe in the producers at Constantin, and I know that they have a really good taste level when it comes to the creative side.
Lily Collins
-
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.
Lily Collins -
My last name may have opened doors, but I have to keep them open.
Lily Collins -
I'm just fascinated by visiting actual castles in the countryside.
Lily Collins -
I've never acted fully impulsively. I think with my mind and my heart.
