I've been to therapists my whole life. I find the less attention I pay to food, the healthier I am. Any obsession is dangerous. And a whole country that's obsessed with one thing, unless it's, like, jeans, it's very dangerous. Everyone's obsessed right now with carbohydrates in this country. It's ridiculous.

One thing I noticed after being down in Mississippi for the shoot was that words like "God" and "Jesus" are used all the time, but they're not specifically referring to Jesus. It's sort of this accepted phraseology for love, or spirituality, or whatever it is you personally believe in.

When I was a little girl - well, like, a teenager - I wanted to be Sam Jackson. I always wanted to be men.

I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.

You have to excuse me because I AM a teenager, so I'm allowed to sound illiterate and make stupid comments like 'I'm not into hard-core feminism.'

I think reincarnation is possible. Hopefully, we all get recycled.

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.
