Friends don’t lie.
With my platform, I want to try and do good things and help people.
It’s crazy because, you know, my parents always want me to watch old films to make me realize how amazing some of the older actors are. And I was obsessed as soon as I watched ‘Stand by Me.
You don’t even realize how much you need Internet, but it really stops you from doing a lot.
I sort of knew I was a bit of a drama queen. I always threw tantrums, so I knew I wasn’t a normal child.
I was bored one day so my Dad took me to this acting school. I liked it more than having fun – I liked it for a job.
I don’t care what I look like; it’s how people think of me. I do care how people think of me. I want people to say, ‘Oh, she’s nice,’ rather than, ‘Oh, she’s so pretty.’
I think it’s easier for the general public to embrace me in a negative way. You have people who already have a perception of me that says I’m a bad person.
The same kind of boys always like me. The ones that easily get their feelings hurt. Ugh! Then they try to get my attention by doing something dumb but I’m too busy to notice
The thing is, I get asked when I first knew I wanted to act so often, and I genuinely can’t answer it. It’s just… I got the bug, and that’s it.
Someone stole my shoelaces once from my shoes. I still wear them and never put laces in them – they’re like my trademark shoes now!
The good Lord doesn’t tell you what His plan is, so all you can do is get up in the morning and see what happens next.
You have to keep reminding yourself it’s not about money, because there is a lot of money to be made in this business if you’re willing to do whatever. But that’s not what I’m thinking about. I continue only to take movies because I love the script and because I really want to do it.
I literally change my phone number 10 times a year and I don’t ever save my contacts.
I am extremely square and obedient in nature!
There is nothing inherently wrong with media that has a viewpoint. This show has a viewpoint; we fact-check everything we say, but I don’t pretend to be neutral on things like criminal justice reform; I’m for it. Uh… Coldplay; I’m against it. Uh… or DeWalt ladders; they’re a seamless blend of style and performance. Walking up one is like ascending to Heaven on a golden cloud. I’m not being paid to say that. I’m just a fan.
I’ve just got to get that album out. I have to get it out, if it’s the last thing I do.
I would not trade any of these features for anybody else’s. I wouldn’t trade the small thin-lipped mouth that makes me resemble my nephew. I wouldn’t even trade the acne scar on my right cheek, because that recurring zit spent more time with me in college than any boy ever did.
I have three closets in my bedroom.
If I didn’t do what I do, I wouldn’t be as young as I am.
I’ve never felt uncomfortable with my level of fame. I don’t get hassled. Maybe sometimes in a minor way, but New Yorkers are much too cool for that. The thing is, you choose to be an actress, but not to be a celebrity.
Husbands are like fires – they go out when unattended.
