My job is to portray real human beings and real human experiences, and if I haven't had a real human experience myself outside of the film industry, how am I going to be able to do that?

I'm a very private person. I find it very daunting to have to give private parts of myself away to people, you know?

I've been acting since I was a kid, so I just feel confident in the fact that I can do it to some degree. I've never thought I was amazing; I've just thought, 'I know this, I can do it.

After Hollywood, you know if people are interested in you or in the fact that you've been in a movie. You know who your real friends are.

When you act, you really have to give all of yourself, and if you're doing that purely for money, it's not healthy.

It is frustrating when in an interview people say: 'Give us your make-up tips' and 'How do you stay skinny?' I think: 'Do you ask a guy that?

I can cry at the drop of a hat. I've always found that easier than laughing in films.
