For me, acting is about the art of it and it's about being on a film set and doing your thing, painting a blank canvas.

It doesn't matter how much more you have in your bank; if 50,000 people show up to your opponents' rallies and you only have a few hundred people, it says a lot about what the people of America are ready to do.

Everyone today is like, 'Shailene, you're getting so much buzz. How does the feel?' It's the most odd question because it's like asking a kid who got into Cornell how it feels to be the top of your class at one of the Ivy League schools. How do you answer that? You just go, 'I don't know.

Every single character in the world, every creature in the world has something to give and something to learn.

My favorite movies are movies that I go in and I leave deeply affected. Whether I laugh really hard or whether I cry really hard, I just want to feel really affected in that moment.

I definitely live for the small moments and the big moments.

It's rare that you get to work with actors, female or not, where you all get along. Just because of the nature of humanity.
