I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky. They said, 'You're a woman; enjoy yourself and believe that you can do things.'
Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.
I just consider myself an artist. I don't really rap. I don't really sing. I just do what I feel is good, and people like it.
Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
I really have no plans for any kind of career in TV or anything, but if I wanted to become good at it, I could. But I don't really think it's in the cards.
I've been trying really hard to be more domesticated. It's not in my nature to clean and cook, and so I've been really good about it.
In this day and time, with no competition you are really walking a tightrope. I mean you may think that no competition is good, but in reality no competition is really bad.
I really wanted to be a doctor, until my freshman year of college when I realized that while I was good at chemistry and biology, I really wasn't feeling challenged by it.
I'm just looking for good work. I just really love acting, and I'd like to jump on something that's really exciting for me.
I thought it was a really good contrast to have a really sweet, sincere, church girl sitting next to the church lady who seemed kind of, you know, over the top.
The future is going to require really smart people. What we think are crises today probably will be no big deal, and we have no idea what will really be crises in the future.
I collect books and I have some really, really old schoolbooks, and God is mentioned on every single page.
It's really difficult to navigate attention and stardom and celebrity status and still try to maintain yourself and hold onto your intelligence and integrity. It's really challenging.
Sometimes a script comes along that really makes you sit up and pay attention... 'Life at These Speeds' has an emotional intensity that really kicked me in the guts.
I like Philip Larkin an awful lot; I really like his view on life, and I really connect to it.
I can't maintain the body of a 16-year-old anymore. That's just a really boring life to me. You really just cannot do anything fun, ever.
I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun.
I did 'Little Dorrit' a few years ago; I really love doing period dramas. It's stuff like that I really enjoy watching.
I really love sort of classical cinema where people were telling stories with very little dialogue, and people were using the camera in a really interesting way.
I really love the '90s. I love the music from then for sure, and to go back to New York then would be a really wonderful thing.
If you love it, and work really hard at it, it will really happen, I believe. I'm living proof.
