I think it is so much more fun to discover film in the movie theatre when there is so much anticipation about the movie.
My biggest fear is overreaching. I have been in situations where I felt swamped, and it's turned out really well; and I've had other situations where I've had to walk off the film after five minutes because I realized I was in way over my head.
I think I was raised in a solidly upper-middle class family who had really strong values and excess was not one of the things that my family put up with.
There's something wildy decadent about the young-star lifestyle, and I just don't really see the point. I got my partying out of my system in college.
I really don't drink, I don't do drugs. I feel like right now I've been given so many opportunities I don't want to mess it up with those things ...
Because I take very seriously the idea that I can make an impact in the world, I hold back my voice so I can make more of an impact when I do use it. A cause like One Billion Rising is something I want to scream about, and I want you to take that scream seriously because I don't fall out of nightclubs. I don't have photographers capture me spending untold amounts on a handbag.
After Princess Diaries, I was labeled a good girl, and for the first eight years of my career I had to fight to get any other kind of role. But I like fighting for a job, actually. Once you get it, you feel like you've emerged victorious from the scrap and you're like, "OK, this one's mine. Did it. Done."
I love employment, and it's never, ever guaranteed. As much as I love doing animated voices, I just love working.
Singing has always been something that I've loved to do, but I never thought about doing, professionally. I always felt more drawn to acting.
The best part about working is that you never know what you're going to learn when you start out.
I don't love exercise. Some of it is more fun than others, so what I do is, if I'm on the treadmill and I don't want to finish, I look at it and say, "Okay, this is 20 minutes, versus the rest of my life. I'm going to spend the rest of my life doing so many other things, so I can do this for 20 minutes."
I grew up in a pretty large family. We were really close-knit, so I definitely want to have lots and lots of children.
I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. At the moment, I am not. But wouldn't that be cool if I was like, 'Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' I would adore that. I am so far not gifted in that way. But I am a very hard worker and a very determined person, so who knows?
I'm pretty good at remaining calm during an emergency. My house burned down when I was 12, which made me really pragmatic about what needed to be done. But I can be bad in that I compartmentalize a lot of emotions and push them away to deal with them at a later date.
