You should have the opportunity to be more than one person with different people because you have that within you. It's not like you're faking it. If everyone knows you so well and can always get a hold of you, then you're stuck to this thing that people think you are. You should have the opportunity to reinvent yourself. Because you do. Naturally.

I'm not sure if I'm most happy when I'm comfortable and content or when I'm pushing myself to the limits. There are such different versions of happy, and I really appreciate both.

It's amazing to realize that a lot of the insecurities I had when I was younger have pretty much disappeared.

As soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture that came out, that's when I became so much happier.

As soon as there are 200 people in a theater watching me, I get really scared.

My mom is a script supervisor. It's like the family business. It never had that feeling of entertainment. It was always more like, "Eh, it's just a movie," with that crew mentality, which is, "We've done it before and we can do it again."
