I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.

If you watch a film from beginning to end, with no women in it, it's really difficult.

I tended to be a solitary young girl, and I still am. I would like to find a quiet corner and color in my coloring book. When I think back, I made that corner mine, not really caring about the rest of the house.

Writing is my number one passion. I've written two novels. I've written a screenplay. I also write short stories and poetry.

I decided I wanted to be a painter, and then that moved into wanting to be an animator. By adolescence, I just wanted it to be something that was important...something that would make a difference in people's lives or leave an imprint in history.

I think I'm not always what I seem.

That is the greatest source of my anxiety on this film [The Hobbit], is that I'm going to be lynched.
