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’ve been enjoying a couple of post-Oscar burgers. So I didn’t fit into a lot of the vintage stuff. I wanted to wear something that was a little bit more forgiving.

A lot of people have told me, 'You're not this and so can't play that,' and I can't tell you the amount of times I've been told I'm not sexy. I don't wear my sexiness overtly doesn't mean that I can't become that girl for a role. That's what I do; I become things. Use your imagination.

My feeling about growing up in New Jersey was, 'How come I'm not in New York?' That being said, I'm older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I'm very grateful for it.

I had a dream. And it came true.

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

I think I was raised in a solidly upper-middle class family who had really strong values and excess was not one of the things that my family put up with.
