I thought acting was what grownups did. It was such a part of my childhood. I was already in love with performing before I knew there were other options. By then, it was too late.

I didn’t find it difficult to live in the “Inherent Vice” world or play those scenes, because they just seemed so real.

I find life so shocking in general. Everything about it surprises me.

I've never had to talk about my work, nobody's given a damn about it - you know, what I thought. I find that I sort of like that, to get to keep it to myself. It's a bit bizarre.

Ive always wanted to play the villain. But the young girl is never the villain.

I dont think Paul Thomas Anderson has a standard approach to anything.

So when things start going badly, you're invested in the characters in a way I think amplifies the horror and the fear because you're invested.
