I have the most incredible parents and they didn't put pressure on me. I grew up in a house and no matter what they thought of things, it was always about my choice.

The first time I ever cried in a movie was in Dead Poet's Society.

The only reason why I acted in school was because of the community, like I was in the chorus of every play, I was never really the lead.

For me, anything I do is totally up for conversation and it's not my right to be able to stop a person from writing whatever they want. What's harmful and hurtful is when people speculate.

That was okay [ working with George Clooney]. One of these days I'll work with a good director.

I don't think I've ever signed onto anything as quickly as I did The Hollars, because I come from a really loving, well-connected family, where we see each other all the time. And when I was done with this script, I was like, "Oh my god, that's my family!" This is obviously a very dysfunctional family, but there was something about it that was sort of universal. And I think that in this day and age in today's world - there's a lot of drama out there. It's nice to tell stories about things as simple and powerful as family.

I'm happy to announce to the world that I'm a crier. It doesn't take a lot for me to cry at stuff.
