I have very strong feelings about what modern fame means, and the toxicity of it. I read Naomi Klein's No Logo when I was 15. It's one of the things that's shaped my relationship to fame - to endorsements, to selling things. I've taken a certain path in terms of all that stuff.

My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings.

As an actor, one is so appreciative when one is working. I think I am lucky that I have the opportunity to work having that total dependence on an external validation.

I don't believe anyone is ugly.

I think above all else [The Social Network] is a love story. And something of a tragic one, I suppose.

Obviously there's something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you're doing them for the wrong reasons - for money, or for fame.

When I first saw Emma Stone, it was like I woke up.
