As young, hot actors living in Hollywood, you get even more attractive.

I am an outsider looking in, absolutely. You're not going to see me at the Academy Awards 'Vanity Fair' party any time soon.

It's so crazy in Hollywood.

You have to treat Hollywood like it's your boyfriend - he's there all the time.

Walking down the red carpet, suddenly I felt very special and different. All the flashlights from cameras and requesting voices from the media, the scene, it was just like what I remembered seeing on TV or a movie when I was a little girl - the scene only when movie stars appeared.

The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.

Hollywood is loneliness beside the swimming pool.

I don't necessarily need Hollywood.

Hollywood is not suited for me, and I am not suited for it.
