I always wanted to be a psychiatrist.

I got really excited about Beyoncé, but it was Beyoncé. I think I was more in awe of how pleasant she is.

I've done so much songwriting and I know how to do it.

I feel like writing songs is cheating on acting. It's weird.

Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

I'm a very emotional writer. I always need to have a boyfriend. I always need to have some food. I always need to have a heater at my feet, and I drink this thing called Cool Brew, which I found in Louisiana. It's like condensed coffee.

As long as I can stay creative and used my mind, it can be 20 hours a day. I sleep four hours, so I've got 20 hours.
