I think that people had this idea that I sat at home and sucked on lollipops and ate cotton candy while I watched cartoons - wearing a tiara.

[Working with Meryl Streep] I just felt like I was shaving years off my discovery as an actress to realize, "Okay, that's what this feels like."

There's an obsessive quality to it that I thought I would've grown out of by now. It's an ongoing source of shame for me.

Irony is the bringing together of two contradictory truths and to make out of the contradiction a new truth, with a laugh or a smile.

I'm convinced that a few guys I've dated are gay, and they won't admit it. I think we've all done that.

Everything that I have ever hoped to accomplish, she has done and done better than anyone I have ever seen.

I try to stay out of the spotlight as much as humanly possible, because I think that when actors, whether or not they've chosen it or it has been thrust upon them, are living very public lives, it affects your ability to get lost in their performances.
