I auditioned equally for film and theater. The difference is that theater has seasons, while film, it's always happening.

One time my mom tried to send me to my room for a time-out when I was 5 or 6, and I was like, "Fine! I like my room! All my imagination and toys are in my room!" I will never forget that. And she will never forget that.

I think a lot of films do themselves a disfavor by putting in way too much information, and everyone knows what's gonna happen next, and no one can actually discover things as they go.

When I was 13, I told my parents I didn't believe in God any more. Religion should not be about determining women's freedoms.

I get way too much happiness from good food.

My friends and I started making films when I was still in kindergarten.

I think part of that comes from time's passed, and she's been in an environment where training is part of the thing. It's not like we do a montage of her discovering her powers like in every X-Men film but yeah, there's no montage. But she does have these new abilities that we pick her up with.
