When I go away to do a movie, I bring the blanket I've had since I was a little girl. It helps me sleep. I also always bring my laptop so I can E-mail friends. And I bring my dog, Beauty, wherever I can.
I don't really relate to myself as The Girl in the Magazine. Which is dangerous for me, too, sometimes, because I don't think all the time, 'Well, look to see if people are following me home.' Sometimes I'm a little bit more free than maybe I should be.
Doing 'All Good Things' really felt like I was acting for myself rather than anyone else. It gave me a freedom I'd never had before, or knew I had, to do whatever I want to, and to argue my opinions and not just feel like the cute girl on set or the girl in a boy's club. I figured out how I could be both. And it's been different ever since.
On every film I do, whenever there are other girls my age, I think it's definitely up to me to set the pace. That's because I've had a lot of experience, and I think there's always a certain amount of professionalism that should be maintained. If I was catty or whatever, it would just make the whole shoot unpleasant. And what's the point of that?
I'd like to be taller. I'd like my baby fat to leave.
I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.
I liked the girly cartoons. I was very much a girly-girl.
I don't want to be 'box-office girl,' but I don't want to be 'that indie girl' either.
Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don't you? Just tell me so I can get over you.
In movies, I hope women aren't always portrayed as sex symbols. People like Drew Barrymore are paving the way for girls my age. Hopefully I can pave the way for young actresses, too.
We spent a month on that scene and it goes by in a minute.
I was excited to do a movie like this because the part is done for you. It's a beautifully-written character. A lot of times you're making it up as you go.
Her words are like the music of a song. No wonder this guy falls for her.
Nobody has wanted all of me as much as she has, ... She lets things happen. She lets mistakes happen.
