I completely believe that I will produce my best work and my best work will come in my thirties.
Nobodys perfect. And if you think they are, youre sadly mistaken.
It can take a long time for some people to find out how to ground themselves, and film sets are an odd atmosphere to do it in - especially if, like me, you finished school early.
My mother said I was a star when I was about four years old. That's all I need.
I'm part of the Ipod generation. I got 10,000 tracks from all over the world.
I could sing and play as well. I've got some brothers; one of them is the drummer in the band. They're good musicians. I play for fun. They play properly. Music in general, I grew up in a house of musicians. Everybody's life has a soundtrack, I'm sitting here talking to you but there are horns beeping outside. I know I'm in New York. That's an element in the film as well. How strong that sense can be.
Even though I've had the body of work I've had, and the success I've had, I do not rest on my laurels whatsoever.
I don't hang out with movie stars, and you won't see me going to many Hollywood parties. I'm actually quite boring.
A lot of my success is because of what I look like. I know that.
You know what I like to do on a Sunday morning? Clean my house. I really enjoy it; it's my ritual. I require tidiness, actually. I have to have everything spotless before I can relax.
When it comes to dreams, one may falter, but the only way to fail is to abandon them.
You go through your 20s sort of like a chrysalis in many ways, stretching into your own skin and trying to bust out of a cocoon.
I'm a one-woman guy. I think that if you can find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, you should marry them instantly, and try to stay married.
You hurt the ones you love the most. Because it hurts you the most.
