I just can't go to the mall. It bothers me that I can't be outside very often.

I just want the fans of the book to be happy. I don't necessarily care about anyone else.

Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it's not. It's for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it's just the most extreme version of that that I've ever found. It's like running, it's exertion.

I went to do Eclipse right after The Runaways, and I think the director of that movie might have said to another cast member that he had to beat the Joan Jett out of me.

I hear actresses talking about this all the time - this idea that you sit in meetings and the studio says, "Well, you can't do that because the audience won't like that. They won't root for you. It's not sympathetic." I think that we've been served this one dish for so long that we believe that it's all that audiences want, but when we test them or throw something out there that has some truth to it, they seem to always respond.

It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.

Making movies is just as much of a game. They say Hollywood is like high school with money.
