I've always used my own personal emotions and things that I've gone through in my life to build a character. The work that I do before a film feels almost like therapy, between me and whoever I'm playing.

I feel very lucky that I don't have to rely on a man to give me financial security. That's a big deal.

I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.

When you're little, you're open to things. It's not like you get into this rehearsed zone when you're a child. At first you play different sides of yourself. And I think it will be really exciting one day to have a character to go into that's not anything like me whatsoever.

I attract a different kind of boy when my hair's red. I get more quality men - like a more thoughtful, nerdy dude.

I just want to be a good friend to people, that's all.

I think it's best to date someone who doesn't do what you do.
