I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good.

Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavory.

Domesticity has to mean nesting. Otherwise, six months go by, and you don't know where your underwear is.

Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability.

As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive.

I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that's what acting was gonna be.

I do need to be told when I'm going wrong. No one's acting can be an exact, 100 percent science.
