The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.

I am sure I would love to do it now, but back then, I was, like, 11 and it was 'ugh.' There's nothing sexual or sexy when you're that age. So I was kissing Brad Pitt. So what? He had chapped lips. He was lovely and kind and sweet to me, but it was just yuk.

I'd like to be taller. I'd like my baby fat to leave.

I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn't afraid of being in front of a camera.

A lot of moms give their kids line reads. My mom wasn't put in that position because I always had an acting teacher helping with the feelings rather than how to say something.

It's weird doing red carpets; it's uncomfortable. But you can have a sense of humor about it.

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