When I make a movie, I just make the movie. I don't think about the success of it. If it becomes successful, that's an amazing treat. If it doesn't, you had a great time making it and you learned from it, and then you make a new thing.

I am really attracted to films. It's nice to do something new, all the time. That's why I like being an actor.

I'm like a weird actor. I feel like I'm vastly uneducated when it comes to the cinema.

My boyfriend and I don't get to live in the same city all the time, and the fact that I can text him or call him or even Skype with him is so wonderful.

Violence has been a part of storytelling forever and there's obviously a reason for it. Fairy tales are really violent, the original ones. I think there's something cathartic about having kids live through their fears through a book or any kind of story.

Costume is a huge part of getting into character. Your body soaks in what you're wearing, and you turn into someone else.

As an actor, you realize that your whole life is about arrivals and departures. You're always meeting people, you get really close, and then you all have to leave.
