You set up the story, but the characters start talking, and they go places that you didn't expect. You have to follow.

I don't think a lot of people are like, "I'm just quirky!" Or if they are, it's a stage they're going through as they figure out who they are. I never felt like I was choosing roles that were quirky.

If I'm not working, I don't feel complete.

In New York you can just walk out and be among people. You're on the subway among people, you go to cafes, you can talk to people.

And when I get bored, it's like the worst parts of me come out. I really veer to self-destructive tendencies quickly.

Part of the challenge of being a girl living in the 21st Century, looking back, the danger is to not judge your character by your own standards.

I've worked with a lot of really famous people. It stops being weird really quickly. For me, at least.
