I'm my own worst critic, so I try and not focus on what I've done wrong, or what I could improve on.

I've always considered myself a fairly romantic person. I believe in love and falling in love at a young age.

I've really been sort of focused on acting and I feel really lucky because great projects sort of keep coming my way. I guess the criteria that I look for, it gets increasingly difficult because when you have the privilege of working with someone like Diane [Keaton], it's kind of like, 'Well, where do you go from there.'

A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it's the greatest feeling in the world.

I would never discredit anyone that is working their way up on a show like "American Idol." I think they work so hard overcoming all of the obstacles to get on the show in the first place and then every week they are judged in front of all of America... I give them complete credit for getting up on stage... I think they deserve all the success that they get.

There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.

I like being friends with other women who are supportive of women. I think that is important.
