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.

In movies, I hope women aren't always portrayed as sex symbols. People like Drew Barrymore are paving the way for girls my age. Hopefully I can pave the way for young actresses, too.

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

The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.

When you feel good is when you're not afraid to feel the worst.

I don't live in the spotlight, and I don't live my life in front of the paparazzi. I live very comfortably and quietly as possible.
