It was my life, playing Juliet. From that moment on I was convinced I was going to be an actress. That was all I really wanted to do.

I think thinking about becoming an adult, and having to face up to your problems and face up to your insecurities, is difficult for everybody.

I don't have phobias. I'm pretty laid back. Nothing really bothers me. I can handle things pretty well.

I mean every character you totally, you know, the full fiber of the personality is kept in the film, and all of those little moments, all those funny little tidbits are all in there.

I love playing characters that are strong, when there's physicality involved.

Particularly for women, I think more of us in the industry need to just do it. I think guys are more willing to put themselves out, that way, at least with the girls that I know. We say we want to direct, but then we don't actually do it.

For any addict, when you get sober, life becomes more challenging, in some ways, because all of your problems become very clear and you have to deal with your pain. You can't just drink and forget about it and pretend it doesn't exist. You have to actually face it, head on.
