I believe that you are only in control of so much. So whatever you are not in control of you can't worry about.

My brother knows more about film sets than I do, because he works at New York Film Academy.

I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche.

Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.

I'm the first one who sees every romantic comedy in theaters.

No, I wouldn't want the paparazzi ever following me in my life.

Yes, I don't read books for entertainment.

I find acting conservatories really important. I've gone to four different ones, and all of them provided totally different tools for me.

And I've been taking acting classes since I was 7.

Well, I'd love to work with Kate Winslet - she's amazing.

I had a great drama teacher in high school, and that's when I started to learn about the history of theater.

I feel it is obvious when someone has thought too much about what they're wearing.

I always went to see independent films, they're the movies I'm usually most excited to see.

The tabloids create their own stories about people's lives that don't exist.

I never wanted anyone to think that I would use my family name to get me anywhere.

I get way too much happiness from good food.

I've always loved being a student.

I auditioned equally for film and theater. The difference is that theater has seasons, while film, it's always happening.

I like men-inspired outfits.

And I think in theater, people don't really focus on the media unless there's a huge superstar doing a play or something.

I think every day you try to soak up as much as you can to learn and understand things better.

I think a lot of films do themselves a disfavor by putting in way too much information, and everyone knows what's gonna happen next, and no one can actually discover things as they go.

I just need to figure out how to grow without compromising.

I've always had a complex about being taken seriously.

I really actually enjoy auditioning.
