If I can do anything in this time of my career, I want to make it easier for other actresses and girls who are growing up to go, 'I get to be a part of a comedy or an action film or a romantic comedy or a thriller or just a romance, without having to wind up with someone to complete us.' I complete me. I just got lucky that, after I completed myself, I met someone who could tolerate me.

If you can't categorize a film for a studio, it's really difficult for them to wrap their heads around it and give you the money.

Stop being scared of the unknown, because anything I worried about didn't happen. Other stuff happened. The unknown, we can't do anything about.

No one has ever bought me underwear, and I'm a little bummed about that. Maybe it's not such a big deal any more.

I love the written word; I love when someone takes the time or leaves you a note or sends a letter.

Don't be someone else's slogan because you are poetry.

I love New Orleans I love the way it looks. I love the way it feels.
