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.
Kirsten DunstI'm not someone who feels the pressure of someone else's expectations. That's a very young way to feel.
Kirsten DunstI think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.
Kirsten DunstI attract a different kind of boy when my hair's red. I get more quality men - like a more thoughtful, nerdy dude.
Kirsten DunstI get to do all these crazy things in the movies. I'm a pretty chilled out person, actually... a very mellow person.
Kirsten DunstI am sure I would love to do it now, but back then, I was, like, 11 and it was 'ugh.' There's nothing sexual or sexy when you're that age. So I was kissing Brad Pitt. So what? He had chapped lips. He was lovely and kind and sweet to me, but it was just yuk.
Kirsten DunstI'm a person who likes to hang out. I would never go on a blind date. That sounds like the most uncomfortable thing on the planet earth. It's like, 'Hi. Nice to meet you. So, what kind of music do you like?' Date ended.
Kirsten DunstFor me, my favourite actresses are like Charlotte Rampling or Gena Rowlands... people who have always stepped outside of the restraints of a certain type of woman or story. I always like those movies the best.
Kirsten DunstWhen I was younger, I always did movies that teenagers would watch, not adults. I did 'Crazy/Beautiful' or comedies like 'Bring It On.'
Kirsten DunstI 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.
Kirsten DunstYou can never control who you fall in love with, even when you're in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens.
Kirsten DunstI 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.
Kirsten DunstI'm a good assistant. That's why I don't have an assistant, because I'm so on it that no one can be as on it as me. I know that.
Kirsten DunstI 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.
Kirsten DunstI don't really want to talk about my personal experience. It's something that I have talked about just because it came out in the press but I've tried to navigate the waters in my own comfort-ability.
Kirsten DunstWhat are you going to do if it's the end of the world? You better go out having fun instead of stressing about it.
Kirsten DunstI'm the kind of person who buys a new thing, wears it so much and then is totally sick of it.
Kirsten DunstWhen I have time off, my friends and I will go to Universal Studios, the movies, out to eat, and shopping. I'm happiest when I'm just hanging out with my friends... it really doesn't matter what we do.
Kirsten DunstI can't watch my movies and get into them because as soon as I see myself I get taken out of the film.
Kirsten DunstBut the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts.
Kirsten DunstWhen you have a beanpole body, everything looks cute. Like Alexa Chung. I like her style, but she's really tall and skinny, so everything looks good on her.
Kirsten DunstAfter โMelancholiaโ and โOn the Road,โ I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if youโre not consistently in those movies, people donโt always think of you for them.
Kirsten DunstI don't live in the spotlight, and I don't live my life in front of the paparazzi. I live very comfortably and quietly as possible.
Kirsten DunstA lot of people my age, they grew up with me onscreen. I think that's helped keep a certain amount of longevity. When you grow up with a person, you feel like you know them.
Kirsten DunstI've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.
Kirsten DunstThe hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.
Kirsten DunstI was allowed to have an imagination rather than a need to be entertained all the time by television or computers or anything like that. So, I think it's helpful to try and give your kids.
Kirsten DunstMost people ask me questions based on a previous interview. That's not an interview. It's like they're just saying my quotes back to me.
Kirsten DunstI really want to do a film in another language. My dad's from Germany, so it'd be really cool to do a film in German. I'm not quite fluent, but I can get there. And my accent's pretty good. I wouldn't feel too out of my element.
Kirsten DunstI love my snaggle fangs. They give me character and character is sexy. People comment, but the only person who ever told me to fix them was my mom ... I just went my own way, like daughters do.
Kirsten DunstLars von Trier is not not somebody who is known for conducting a normal press conference ever!
Kirsten DunstI think that everybody in life probably goes through obstacles at different times in life. I wouldn't really call them obstacles, I think that's just called growing up, and I think it's hard to be in the industry at such a young age
Kirsten DunstI 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.
Kirsten DunstI really just enjoy listening to talk [to John Hurt and Charlotte Rampling]... not even about acting or anything. It's interesting because I felt really connected to all these people very easily. They're all very open emotionally, like we're in the scene together, so you never feel like anyone's acting.
