When folks get to the best of their profession, people are like, "Who am I to give a critique to this individual who's reached mastery?".

For me personally, I don't go onto Twitter or Facebook, my hubby helps me out because sometimes I'm concerned that I'll see something that will upset me, and I don't have a way to work it out with that person.

I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we're advanced in every way except in our humanity.

I felt very comfortable on a set - incredibly comfortable on a set, which is a real gift because that can be hugely intimidating.

I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.

With The Help, I knew folks involved in the project peripherally. I wanted to audition for Hilly Holbrook and part of the initial feedback was: "No, Bryce is too nice." That's part of the reason why I really love auditions as well - you get to try out a character and try out different versions of a character.

You go on Instagram, and it's just not a real reflection of what people do, and how much pain people are in every day. So that's my mental change.
