I think you either get along with Lars [von Trier] or you really don't and I really got along with him. I wasn't scared because I talked to Bryce Dallas Howard about Lars.

I really think the key to a film is the chemistry of people.

I don't think roles help you resolve your issues. I just think they're good markers.

I feel like I could never walk around a film half-naked. I definitely wouldn't want to see that.

I'm not someone who feels the pressure of someone else's expectations. That's a very young way to feel.

When I was little, I put on plays for my family at Sunday dinner, and I would direct them and have all my cousins, my brother, and my best friends in it. I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn't afraid of being in front of a camera. It was like make-believe to me.
