Everything's connected, and everything has meaning if you look for it.

Relationships have always seemed very mysterious, and therefore worth exploring. I’m single, so it’s still kind of a mystery - a worthwhile mystery, one that I want to be on the scent of. I’m not lonely, and I think that has a lot to do with what’s on my bedside table rather than what’s in my bed.

For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.

Every movie I make I find kind of excruciating. I get a lot back from it, but I feel like I'm kind of always working at the edge of my ability. I guess that's what I'm looking for when I go to work. I am trying to become the edge.

When I was filming the Marilyn Monroe movie, I was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen.

I mean, I am still such the-good-girl. I want everybody to like me. I want everybody to be happy.

I was born with a fierce need for independence.
