I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an undistilled vision.

I feel like I'm the only person - or woman, at least - who hasn't read 'Fifty Shades of Grey.

I'm fiercely protective of my privacy.

I always wanted to be one of those people who were good at many, many things, but from a very early age, I fell in love with acting.

I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person. And there are other parts where you would like to think that you have nothing in common with those characters, but you probably do have more than you think.

My father and my mother separated when I was two.

It's interesting how when you walk into a room in LA there's a sense of what you walk in, as is sort of what you can do. So I spent a lot of time choosing different things to hopefully show people that maybe that's not the case.
