I ultimately wanna do big movies, and I've been so close so many times. They keep giving my roles to girls with just a little more exposure than me.
An often-repeated assertion in the body of film criticism I have written is the assertion that movies do not just mirror the culture of any given time; they also create it.
I guess rebelliousness has been explored in many movies, but what about the smart kids' rebellion? Not just the motorcycle jackets and that kind of rebellion; it's the dorky kid - what could he do?
The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.
People go to movies on Saturday to get away from the war in Iraq and taxes and election news and pedophiles online and just go and have some fun. I like doing movies that are fun.
I guess I started too early because I just thought it was something fun to do.
I think people are just haters. When they see people doing well, some people, if there's something wrong, they'll pick at that.
If I'm not doing something or working on something, I literally just sit in the room and think, which I don't think is productive. I won't go outside for days.
Most actors nowadays are models turned actors. That's why a lot of young actors are terrible. You have to learn how to act. It is not something that you can just do.
An album, for me, is not just a commercial product. It's about presenting a world to people, for them to explore and enjoy. How they do that is up to them.
Do you ever just sit there and cry, and you say Wow I had no idea I had this many feelings suppressed?
It's easier to get an actor when you just ask them to do a day on something rather than have them come in, audition, get picked.
If you're having dinner with friends and they're always on the phone or always texting, it's just impolite. Unless it's something important - like someone is in the hospital or something - don't do it.
I do not go on my Wikipedia page. There's just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart.
I don't really move onstage; all I do is just gradually hunch more and more and jut out at the people in the front row.
I know that everybody is so obsessed with this idea of fame, and they think that I'm obsessed. In all honesty, I'm just doing me.
Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.
You may not have any extra talent, but maybe you are just paying more attention to what you are doing.
I think I would be making a mistake to actively try and just do everything completely different from 'Gilmore Girls.'
I just don't think I'm equipped to soundtrack the times. There might be someone out there who can do that, but I haven't cracked it.
You just don't luck into things as much as you'd like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it's friendships or opportunities.
