I've definitely become more aware and conscious of what directors I'm working with because it's so important. The director is really more than half the battle of the film. You really rely on that. That's become really, really important to me, for sure.
I was excited to get the opportunity to sing something in a movie 'cause I love musicals and I would love to be able to do more movie musicals, in the future.
It's really nice to be in something that you really love and want to share with people. And then, for it to actually get shown and for people to be able to see it is awesome. It's really exciting.
When my agents tell me how much I'm going to be paid for a film, instead of quoting a figure, they'll say: 'You're going to make ten pairs of Christian Louboutins.'
I feel like I'm exactly where I should be.
I want to do something crazy for a part - something I'd never even consider in real life.
I wish no teams had cheerleaders. I find it more distracting than anything else.
If 10 years ago I was told I'd be where I am now, I would've been pretty happy.
Rooting for the offense is the safe way to go. You win either way.
I have a ridiculous fear of sharks but I'd jump in the water in a second for an amazing role.
All the actors I respect, especially old-Hollywood actors, the reason I think so many of them have had long careers is that there is a sort of mystery about them. You don't know what they do on Friday nights when they go home from work. You have no clue. You have this sort of fantasy about them.
If I'm not on the red carpet or at a photo shoot, I never wear anything besides ChapStick. But I'll have a heart attack if I don't have my chapstick.
In New York, you can just wake up and everything sorts itself out. I love that, not having a plan.
Even when I was a kid, I had this insane head of flaming hair. It looked like a wig.
