I think it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it.

To be honest, I don't usually do very much research, especially if I'm working with a director who also wrote the screenplay. They've usually done a tonne of research. And they'll tell you about it from their perspective which is better than doing your own research.

I think the main reason a lot of child stars don't make it is that it's hard to see someone as cute and then all of a sudden see them as having more depth.

I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.

We live in a thinly veiled misogynistic society.

As long as we can tell stories about our ability to survive, the more we will hope, not self-destruct.

I can't think of anything that I turned down that became big and successful.
