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.

Why would I cry over a boy? I would never waste my tears on a boy. Why waste your tears on someone who makes you cry?

Lars von Trier is not not somebody who is known for conducting a normal press conference ever!

Doing 'All Good Things' really felt like I was acting for myself rather than anyone else. It gave me a freedom I'd never had before, or knew I had, to do whatever I want to, and to argue my opinions and not just feel like the cute girl on set or the girl in a boy's club. I figured out how I could be both. And it's been different ever since.

I built my entire career off of teen comedies. I was in 'Bring It On'.

I get to do all these crazy things in the movies. I'm a pretty chilled out person, actually... a very mellow person.

When you feel good is when you're not afraid to feel the worst.
