My grandmother was German. She didn't teach any of her children German. She really wanted them to be American. And now, she's since passed away, I get so frustrated sometimes. I'm like, "Oh, Oma, why didn't you teach your kids German?" My dad would have spoken German to me from birth, and I would have spoken German.

I can only live my life in this way. I don't think I would be living it a different way if I wasn't acting.

I think I was a Japanese schoolgirl in another life. That's how much I love Hello Kitty.

Sometimes I am kind of the opposite of my character. But that's the thing about acting, you get to play people who are not like you at all.

People like to examine the things that frighten them, to look at them and give them names, so saints look for god, and scientists look for evidence. They're both just trying to take away from the mystery, to take away from the fear.

I'm the girl that's on the beach with a hat on, under an umbrella. Like, very shaded.

I like everything perfect. Everything has to be neat. My sister is 5, and she's more messy than I am. I make my bed every morning, everything's perfect. My shoes are all arranged. It's sad. I'm a little like Ray, a little bit.
