It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think?

I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.

In high school, I dressed up as every James Bond girl. I was a teenage Pussy Galore.

Remember, I'm the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I've never felt like I'm a big star at any level of my life.

The fact that I got into acting at all was kind of fluke-ish. I loved movies, but I can't remember ever really wanting to be an actress, and I certainly didn't imagine ever being in a movie. I think I wanted to be a writer.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

I'm not interested in playing the girl that's just there to make the guy, you know, give him a talking to.
