The link between my brain and my mouth is just not there anymore.

Probably my English teacher because she got me into writing instead of just answering the question. I used to hand in homework with 20 pages of nonsense and she'd still mark it. She was a really amazing teacher.

I have no reason to influence people. I just want to have it all for myself. I just want someone to pat me on the back. (laugh) It's crazy. It seems just completely ridiculous. I don't know why. I mean, three years ago, I wouldn't be able to influence my dog to walk.

What's it like kissing Taylor Lautner.

[Sometimes] I will go through periods where I will think 'Oh maybe I should do a commercial movie' and then I just think, someone gave me a really great piece of advice, someone from my agency weirdly, they said the only clients that are happy are the ones that just do what they want to do. So I just kind of do everything for myself.

I didn't want to get stuck in pretty, public school roles, or I knew I'd end up as some sort of caricature.

You can put a dog in a scene and everyone's going to be better, I guarantee it. And if they're not better, just shoot the dog.
