There are some 'Star Treks' I love, and there are some I don't love.
There are so many roles on TV that I don't covet. I see them, and I'm glad I don't have to play them.
'The Squickerwonkers' was the story I wrote when I was on 'The Hobbit.' And I brought it to Comic-Con and sold out a thousand copies I had printed.
'The Hobbit' didn't include female characters at all and was a very linear story, a book for children, really.
Somebody could take a picture of me from across the room, and I would feel like I wanted to rip their face off.
Saying 'no' is not hard for me; it's scarier for me to say 'yes.' I'm actually more afraid of commitment than of saying 'no.'
Peter Jackson has just really earned the right to be Tolkien's torchbearer on screen.
On 'Ant-Man', I took a rubber stamp from the office of Hank Pym, who's played by Michael Douglas.
My son was three months old when I started filming 'The Hobbit,' and I was still breastfeeding.
I had my baby outside in a thunderstorm. It was really romantic.
I don't watch TV. When people at my house try to talk about TV, I'm like, 'Ah, I have no idea what I'm talking about.'
I don't want to shield kids from reality.
I don't want to just model. Anyone can do that. I've let myself be in magazines in the past without participating as much as I should have.
I do love 'Star Wars,' although I'm not one of those crazy fans who knows everything about everyone.
