I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche.

And I think in theater, people don't really focus on the media unless there's a huge superstar doing a play or something.

And at NYU, I went to the Atlantic Theater Company, and they have two main points. One of them is to always be active in something instead of just feeling it. And the other is figuring out your character.

My favorite thing about acting is you have to learn how to work with people that you probably would never try to. Some people just aren't supposed to be in a room together, and you have to be in a room with a group of people who might not all get along and you have to figure out how to come together for one thing. That collaboration is special, and people don't get to exercise that. I think that's why people become stubborn, and I think that's why people become uninspired to change. In this job you have to.

I'm the first one who sees every romantic comedy in theaters.

If you don't like something, talk about something else that's great and maybe someone else will discover it and think it's great too.

When I'm wearing heels at events, my feet feel like they're sitting in pools of blood.
