I'm pretty good at remaining calm during an emergency. My house burned down when I was 12, which made me really pragmatic about what needed to be done. But I can be bad in that I compartmentalize a lot of emotions and push them away to deal with them at a later date.

When Chris Nolan is your director you are like, "I trust that, I'm wrong."

I have never been called too pretty for anything. That would be a problem I could get used to.

Mia: I can't do this, I'm a girl. Gym Teacher Harbula: What am I? A duck?

There's nothing wrong with making little kids happy, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to be an adult actress. I mean a grown-up actress.

I'm always curious about how actors cry on film.

When people refer to me as a 'regular' girl...it's code word for 'fat' in Hollywood....But...my body has chosen its shape. I'd rather be strong than skinny.
