We really didn't talk about it. We did all kinds of things together, but we didn't talk about acting or career advice. We just became best friends.
Every time she does a movie, I'm on another one. So we never really talk about work.
Dakota took Kurt to see 'Napoleon Dynamite,' because she wouldn't stop talking about 'Napoleon Dynamite,' and she was making Kurt laugh,
The barn really smelled like a barn with all the hay.
I want to do acting forever. It's so much fun that I don't think of it as work. It's something I really love to do.
When I'm in front of it, it's different than anything else. It's a different feeling. Thoughts are just going through your head. You're not even really thinking about other things or what you are going to do next.
When I was in, like, 'I Am Sam,' I was, like, 'I get money? Whatever.'
My grandmother was German. She didn't teach any of her children German. She really wanted them to be American. And now, she's since passed away, I get so frustrated sometimes. I'm like, "Oh, Oma, why didn't you teach your kids German?" My dad would have spoken German to me from birth, and I would have spoken German.
Because I'm a pale person, I take care of my skin religiously.
I'm the girl that's on the beach with a hat on, under an umbrella. Like, very shaded.
My weird thing is, I only tan my legs. My whole body's covered in the shade, and I tan my legs.
I just don't skimp on TV. Even if I'm exhausted and so tired and it's 12 A.M. and a Sunday night, I'll still watch Game of Thrones. I will stay up, and I will watch it. I totally screw my sleep schedule up.
I'm very proud to be a woman - you're part of a tribe. Automatically, you feel connected to another woman when you meet them. That's really special.
When you're acting you put so much of yourself into working. As much fun as it is, it's still hard work and it's still a challenge.
