I have these surreal moments where I’m like ‘I’m pregnant with Jake Gyllenhaal’s baby’ and ‘I’m telling Robert Pattinson that he smells of sex.’ But you’re acting, so the focus is on the work.

I think when you work with really wonderful directors who have a really strong vision, it lets you as an artist set the tone for your own career.

Нou're always in constant dialogue with your interior self versus your exterior self: how you look, and how you're perceived, and then people's preconceived notions of you.

As women, we're always in negotiation with how we're being perceived versus how we feel.

My chosen occupation isn’t necessarily movie star; I see my chosen occupation as actor.

I really like directors who give you a certain amount of autonomy because I think a lot about my characters and I think a lot about scenes and choices.

The way I sometimes approach my work, when I look at a script for the first time, is to identify what the archetypes are and what the writing is trying to do in that context.
