Finding a stylist is a little like finding a date; you have to find who is right for you.

I love Charlize Theron. I would love to have a career like Charlize Theron. I like Charlize Theron. She strikes me as being very down to earth, very cool, in addition to being extremely talented, and I think that's awesome.

Any time you do a movie there are going to be war wounds that you end up getting.

When I was first starting out as a kid, I tried to pad my résumé with everything I had ever done-ice-skate, carry a tune.

I'm at the point in my career now, where I can take a bit of time to find exactly what roles are that I want to do and not work myself into a corner. I love acting and I love who I'm becoming, as I evolve as a human being. My work is an important part of me, which may or may not be healthy, so I need to do things that I love. I want to tell interesting stories, discover things about myself, and other people. The only way to do that is to not take jobs that feel repetitive or boring to me because then you're stuck doing that job instead of finding the thing that speaks to you.

I definitely have role models. But it's hard to say, "Okay, I want to be Angelina Jolie," or "I want to be Charlize Theron.

So many things could go wrong, on any film. I've been out in L.A. for eight years and I've been acting professionally for a long time, and you realize that you have to prepare and work hard, but you never know what could go wrong.
