I have an old soul. I don't know any real-life lingo, so I have to take it from movies.
Everything that we think comes across in our eyes. Our eyes really are the windows to our souls, and that's why at least I can tell when somebody doesn't mean what they're saying - if you just look at them in the eye.
I just love film making; all aspects of it. I love the idea of writing but I just don't feel like I could really do it. I didn't even graduate from school.
I run into grounded people all the time. Given, most of them are behind the camera. But I definitely by no means think I'm the only one.
I adapt to directors, I don't like making directors adapt to me. If I'm with Clint Eastwood then I'll do two takes, if I'm with Fincher I'll do 50 - though the thought of that sounds horrible.
It's so easy to think that this [celebrity] is reality; that people are lining up outside just to write down what I have to say. That's not real; that's weird.
I've got five or six amazing friends that I trust and love, I know exactly who I am and don't care about anything else.
Yeah, when you're making a film, the book is a good tool, but once you have the script and you're making a movie, you have to let go of the book.
I'm the youngest in a family where I didn't have to take responsibility for much.
I do have some kind of gravitational pull towards young characters with more responsibility than they should have.
Sometimes I watch films that I can't believe got made. Especially because I read scripts that are truly incredible, that will never get made. I don't know who is behind those decisions. It's like you just have to doodle something on a page about the underdog who finally gets the girl and the film gets made.
You can't ever let yourself be thrown by a camera. That's never good for an actor. When you're reading the script, you want to work with someone you trust so there's nothing to worry about.
I'm going to do my thing and if you react a certain way - with pity or with anger - that's up to you.
Why would people have confidence in a female director when there are so few?
