It's interesting to watch people go through it in something like this. I mean, what other then Melancholia films do they portray depression in?

I get to do all these crazy things in the movies. I'm a pretty chilled out person, actually... a very mellow person.

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

So many teen films are overproduced and people are going to burnout on the subject.

Madonna is my role model shes such a powerful woman. I love Gwenyth Paltrow, shes an actress I aspire to be like. And, of course, my mom. She drove me from New Jersey to New York every day for commercials so I could get where I am today.

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.
