When I go away to do a movie, I bring the blanket I've had since I was a little girl. It helps me sleep. I also always bring my laptop so I can E-mail friends. And I bring my dog, Beauty, wherever I can.

I was always in and out of school. What I learned in high school is that female friendships are so much more important than worrying about having a boyfriend or looking good or things like that. I had such a good girlfriend growing up that we didn't need anything. We had such a creative world of our own imagination together. For me, if I have a child, I would say, "I hope you find a best friend that makes it so you don't really need much but each other." Learning about that type of friendship and trust is one of the best things I ever got out of school.

I love my snaggle fangs. They give me character and character is sexy.

It's interesting to watch people go through it in something like this. I mean, what other then Melancholia films do they portray depression in?

I think every woman goes through a relationship where she is with a guy that is really not right for her. You get lost in it.

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?

If you're successful at a young age, no matter the profession, there has to come a time when you reevaluate everything, what it means to you. 'Is this what I want to do for the rest of my life?'
