I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.

You easily close yourself off to certain things because you want to seem like you know it all, or you're not weak - emotion is often confused as weakness - so when emotions are undeniably physically affecting you, I think it's a gift.

I have brothers, and that so-called boyish quality was something that I was deathly self-conscious about when I was younger.

I'm not the type of person that just needs to feel concrete and like nothing's going to change. I revel in the change.

I think the way I approach things has something to do with growing up and seeing my parents go to work every day.

You should never step outside of your life and look at it like it’s this malleable thing you can shape so that people view it a certain way.

I mean, I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time. It's a unique thing to Hollywood that if you don't do that every time, then you're considered a failure. But it's like, 'Well, are you making movies to be successful? Or are you making movies to learn something?'
