All teenagers want to rebel a little and break away. But I think you are always going to want to go back to your parents for that safety they provide.
I've found that I'd be the first one to cut lines.
I think it's important that we have strong, female characters in movies now, which can really leave an impression on people - especially young people - and that they're not 'sexy' or 'cool'.
I don't feel isolated on a film set. In a way you do because you don't really mix with the outside world; you're just sort of working non-stop for a few months, but you've got so many people around you.
It's not work, it is more of a passion. It is so much fun and it is really makes you feel great at the end of the day. You feel like you are really after doing something good and you are after accomplishing something. Acting is one of these things that I can't really describe - it's just like, why do you love your mum and dad? You know, you just do.
I've been dealing with so much press for Brooklyn, and now I am rehearsing for a play, and it is hard.
I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things as well.
I don't think you could get anything worse than losing a child. I think if my child died, I would prefer it if I were dead.
I think 'Twilight' was such a phenomenon that it will be awhile before anything like that will happen again. Cause it really influenced pop culture, and the stars of it - well, the people who became stars out of it - their lives were completely changed.
I'm all right, not as good as my mom is. Maybe because I don't have kids.
I really want to go to college.
I was born in New York, so I'd love to study at New York University.
I think if my child died I would prefer it if I were dead.
When I was younger, I would mess about and have a laugh with everyone. I was doing Atonement when I was about 12, and as we went to do this very serious scene, the director Joe [Wright] came up to me ... I'd been giggling right up to the beginning of the take. And he came up to me and said, "Okay, you need to be serious now." I completely idolized him.
