I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.

When you're making a movie, you feel like a very small part of something that you really don't have much influence upon. You roll in, you do your thing, and then you're gone.

I read a script and I know immediately whether that role is for me or not.

Sometimes, you have no idea why something works and other times, you put so much work and effort into something and it just falls flat.

The great thing about Jane Austen - the reason we're all still obsessed with her - is that she gets inside a woman's mind and she taps into our fantasies of wanting to be accepted and loved for who we are.

As young, hot actors living in Hollywood, you get even more attractive.

We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.
