It’s such a fun job, and it can be silly and light and about making people laugh. I think I was doing it a disservice by thinking it’s not something ultimately important. I always was saying, ‘I’m not saving lives; I’m not a brain surgeon.’ And that’s true—I’m not saving anyone from any life-threatening illnesses. But I get to tell stories, and that’s a pretty important task.

Everybody says "love you" to each other all the time. It's this lovely little safe world.

The only time I flip out is when I'm not prepared. If I'm caught off guard, I can't help it; I start gasping for air.

My absolute favorite kind of people in the world are people that are passionate about something.

To go and accomplish a dream at 15, it doesn't feel like you have all that much to lose because you're in high school. You're being home schooled. You get to kind of go for it in a different way. Your parents are still in charge.

A lot of times I feel like people come up to me because they think I'm like my character in Easy A, or because they've seen me in interviews, but really what they're a fan of is a movie or a character.

Drama is hard for me. Crying is much harder for me than laughter.
