I just want to be a good friend to people, that's all.

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.

It's always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you've affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.

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.

I was a very extrovert kid. It felt normal to me to act. I always went to regular schools. I've never been catty or a prima donna, so I never had problems. I always had my seat at the cafeteria when I came back from acting.

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

I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.
