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

Real tears are not those that fall from the eyes and cover the face, but those that fall from the heart and cover the soul.

I’m not going to let my insecurities keep me from having a good time. I think that if you don’t loose your self-consciousness, you can’t really be present in a situation. For example, if you’re at The Louvre, but you’re thinking about how much you hate your jeans, you’re not really at The Louvre. So in your memory, when you look back, you’re always going to be like, “I was wearing those jeans I hated”. And you’re not going to remember anything else.

I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.

I was really bored and unhappy in school, and I used to act out and do horrible things.

When I'm acting in a film that I'm not producing, I stay to myself.

I'm not perfect-looking and I don't say the right things, I'm a little different, nothing really special, but I guess I come across as a little more real to people and that comes through on the screen. I know I look young, but with the right make-up I can look older. I definitely feel older.
