I think people respond to me as a down-to-Earth, girl-next-door person, because I am one of those people. That's something I don't have to act very hard at.

As an actor, you go through life thinking "This stop is the last stop," so you just put your heart and soul into everything and do your best work.

I'm not interested in making movies only with female protagonists. I think it's ridiculous to think that a female director can't direct men. That makes no sense to me.

I really just drew off of where we are now, with reality TV. You can't help but see a lot of it. You choose to watch some, but with some, you just can't help but hear it and see it. It's just piercing in your brain. That piercing is what I was tapping into , with whatever they were doing to pierce into the minds of everybody. It takes a certain kind of person to shut your mind off to the consequences and just try to get results. That's what I was going for - results.

It's really fun to watch yourself disappear in the movie every day.

I imagine, in the future, life expectancy is long and they use crazy plastic surgery. Who the hell knows what's going on?

I like my coffee light.
