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.

I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to literature and theory. I wish I could have more of that in life, but I don't because I'm always reading scripts or things to prepare for movies when I'm reading.

I feel it is obvious when someone has thought too much about what they're wearing.

In my acting class there was this acting exercise going on, and I remember asking a buddy, "Do you ever do this at your apartment when no one's home? Do you ever act out these hypothetical moments?" And he goes, "No, Lizzie, because that's called crazy." Whatever, I was 20 and doing it so who cares.

I'm the curvy one of the family.

I always went to see independent films, they're the movies I'm usually most excited to see.

I find acting conservatories really important. I've gone to four different ones, and all of them provided totally different tools for me.
