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

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 look back at my adolescence, and Im shocked at the things I did that were my idea of adult behavior.

It's weird. I feel like people assume if a character is very different than you, that means it's difficult to get into their head or into their skin.

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