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.

My grandmother lives with my mother in a gorgeous house in the San Fernando Valley. I am afforded these luxuries, and I'm very young.

I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse.

A lot of people my age who are working right now have never acted; they get a show and suddenly they're making millions. It's always those people who get it fast who have the most trouble staying grounded and being themselves.

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.

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.

When you're in a depressed state, having something really bad happen gives you kind of a life again.
