I get along really well with Lars [von Trier] but definitely during our first meetings I was feeling him out and he definitely says some things that are inappropriate and then you kind of get his sense of humour. I really enjoy him. He's one of my favourite people I've met now. So, he's pretty great.

I would have loved to have been in a Hitchcock movie.

Every movie I do, I always use things that have happened in my life. Funny moments, anything. If it just sticks out I'll write it down and use that, too, because it has to come out of you. But no one can work when they're depressed. I don't think I'd physically be able to do it if I were depressed.

I just don't want to be the damsel in distress. I'll scream on the balcony, but you've got to let me do a little action here.

When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you're performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who's dependent on other people's approval.

You know how people say awards don't mean anything? Hello! I think the energy around them makes everyone cuckoo.

I'm very mature for my age, but I'm also innocent in a lot of ways.
