When I did 'The Social Network,' David Fincher told me that I managed to make a thankless character pretty awesome. I thought that was really cool because I think he's really cool.
It depends on the story and the filmmaker. And it depends on the character, and the heart and soul of the person that I see on the page, and if it resonates with something that I think I can summon in myself.
I think people, especially the press, like to pick on children of famous people and I think that's awful. Things get made up. It's so, so sad. And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it as a 16-year-old. You're like … 'Why? What did I do?'
I think the sexiest thing is a hat. It's very sexy!
I don't think it's something you can be prepared for. I'm just going with the flow.
I think there’s a part of a woman that wants to be the thing that breaks a man down.
I had to be physically and emotionally naked, show both my body and soul. I felt emotionally vulnerable and physically exposed, it was a hard choice to make but I was intrigued since the beginning. I think that...the things that scare you the most are the ones you gotta do.
I've only been in long-term relationships. I've never really dated myself.
Sex scenes are always a little uncomfortable at first.
If it doesn't have sex scenes in it, I won't do it.
I love doing improv. I love comedy. I have always felt this way, even when I was really young.
I avoid social networks and I try to live a very normal, simple life. I love spending time and hang out with my friends any time I can. I like a very simple life.
I felt so much when I was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, I felt everything. I didn't understand [myself], I was so happy yet so angry and sad. That was the point when I realized that I needed to tell stories and make characters come alive and I needed to make people cry, and make people angry, and make people happy, and make them laugh.
I love that I'm alone all the time. I love sleeping next to no one. I really don't like solitude.
