After “Melancholia” and “On the Road,” I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if you’re not consistently in those movies, people don’t always think of you for them.

I feel like everyone directs their own career according to their taste, what they migrate to emotionally and what kind of artists they want to work with.

I think every woman goes through a relationship where she is with a guy that is really not right for her. You get lost in it.

I would love to work with Quentin Tarantino - he's my number one. My ultimate. I would love to work with Paul Thomas Anderson, Alexander Payne - Pedro Almodovar wouldn't be too shabby. There are so many good directors, but those are some of my favorites.

I've seen 'karma' slap people in the face. You have to be good to people. It really does come around.

It's such a private thing - 'my process' - I can just say that the work that I do is like therapy between me and the character.

I don't really relate to myself as The Girl in the Magazine. Which is dangerous for me, too, sometimes, because I don't think all the time, 'Well, look to see if people are following me home.' Sometimes I'm a little bit more free than maybe I should be.
