My mom devotes so much of her time toward me. She's an artist, and my father is a doctor. I've been brought up in what you might call a pretty conventional family.

As I get older, I'm more relaxed and less concerned with what people think of me

And then there is Cate Blanchett. She is different all the time.

I'm going to college. I don't care if it ruins my career. I'd rather be smart than a movie star.

I'd say I got three or four offers for films that had female directors, so in my career I haven't had that opportunity before. That's exciting.

I'm pretty hard on myself in general.

I've dealt with a few method actors, and I don't know if should say this, but I think it's a bunch of nonsense. I think it's film acting and you just have to be on when the camera is rolling.
