Most people are really nice but some stare, like you're some kind of zoo exhibit and not a real person with real feelings.

I was working on 'Harry Potter' while I was growing up, and the attention it brought me made me feel quite isolated.

I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn't even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I'd found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged.

When I started dating I had this kind of Romeo and Juliet, fateful, romantic idea about love. It was almost that you were a victim - that there was a lot of pain involved and that was how it should be. Shakespeare said the course of true love never did run smooth and I had a sense it had to be painful. It was such a revelation to realise it shouldn't be that way and you get to choose who you love and who you give your heart to.

I hope that having my life and having an education will lengthen my career.

I've had so many moments where seeing other women be fully and truly and authentically themselves, and express that, has given me permission. Once you see it happening, you're like, "Oh, I have permission to do that, too."

There are so many scripts and they are fantastic. I think I would like to do something different, maybe something smaller.
