I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.

It is very grand and sumptuous and awesome to look at but it was really about the characters for me.

Never get your girlfriend a pet that she didn't know she was getting.

Here we spent so much time together - eight months of our lives almost - and it was so great because we all got so close and that really made us not afraid to improve with each other.

I always think I could do better. I always think that something could be more perfect, but I think that that's just within my nature. I think I want to please a director, I want to give my everything and find every which way I could have burrowed further into a character.

I think acting is a job where you're always unemployed. You're always looking for the next job, so I assume that it's like other jobs that are with that same kind of setup.

She's lonely and wounded and very vulnerable and it really is a story about people at the heart of it all.
