We live in a world of instant gratification, the world of the quick fix.

I know what I want, I want things for myself, but I think the key to life is somebody to love, something to do and something to look forward to. I don't think it's complicated.

'Transformers' was important and defining for me because it taught me about what kinds of movies I want to make and the kind of actor I want to be, and I have a long way to go before I become that actor.

[Sexual abuse] is such a sharp, potent topic that we really should have discussions about more openly and more often.

I'm not a collector. I toss things out all the time.

Often, as a young actress, you find yourself being the only girl in a room full of men... and one of the reasons why I like 'Grey's Anatomy' is because they have such strong female characters and the women really drive this show.

I don't really look forward to movie stardom or doing a $200-million movie or winning an Academy Award.
