I'm not comfortable leaving my house. If someone invites me over, I would go but it's not like I'm one to say, 'Hey, let's hang out at your house tonight.'
It's funny, because I never think of myself as Little Miss All-Together.
I'm a real people person and I'm very sensitive, and I've just noticed how other actors that I've worked with, as an actor, take direction from people.
I feel weird if I can't move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin.
One trick I swear by: I pour a little neroli or lavender oil onto a hot towel and use it to wipe off my makeup. It opens up my pores, and then my face cream sinks in better.
I have a lot of glass in my house, and I remember saying as a joke once that I clean my stuff with Windex while my friends are over, but then I found myself actually doing that the other day. It's horrible.
I'm a very open person. I know I open my mouth way too much, but I just do that.
I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedimes- my taste goes much more to the offbeat and dark. I'd love to sink my teeth into something like 'Fargo
I've got some great guy friends. They can start out as crushes. But when you realize something isn't going to happen, you make a choice whether or not the friendship is worth it. And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you.
I'm not a passive person by any stretch of the imagination.
It's not like I let people do things for me, so I guess you can call me a control freak, or you can call me passionate.
I understand how to read people, and nurture them and guide them, and let them be free to do what they want to do.
I'm not a long movie person. I have a very short attention span. If you give me a 90-minute movie, that's perfect. When it gets to be two hours, that's a little bit too long for me.
You never have to guess where you stand with me.
