More From Scarlett Johansson

I Don't Feel The Obligation To Be A Specific Weight. I Don't Feel Like I Have To Fit Into A Body That's Not My Body. I Have The Body I Have And I Try To Maintain It.

I Think You Have To Protect Your Private Life As Much As You Possibly Can, And, At The Same Time, Find Ways To Redirect That Focus And Turn The Glare Into A Positive Thing. I Don't Know How You Do It. I Don't Know How Anybody's Ever Done It.

I Always Feel Like I Have To Prove Myself As An Actor, Otherwise You Get Lazy If You're Not Slightly Terrified That You're Going To Fail All The Time.

Everything You Do Is Different, And You Find Different Chords In Every Character That You Play That Strike True With You.

I Try To Stay Fit And Eat Healthily, But I Am Not Anxious To Starve Myself And Become Unnaturally Thin. I Don't Find That Look Attractive On Women And I Don't Want To Become Part Of That Trend. It's Unhealthy And It Puts Too Much Pressure On Women In General Who Are Being Fed This Image Of The Ideal, Which It Is Not.

I Can't Think Of Anything I'd Rather Do Less Than Have To Continuously Share Details Of My Everyday Life.

I Am Very Independent. I Can Look After Myself But I Still Need A Lot Of Love And Care.

Whether People Are In America Or In Africa, People Want To Work. They Want To Have Purpose. They Want To Provide For Themselves And Their Families. They Don't Want Handouts. They Don't Want To Be Completely Dependent On Their Governments - Even Though There's Usually No Opportunity For That Anyway.

I'm All About Fashion, Cheeseburgers And Bright-red Lipstick.

I Love Musicals, I Started Acting Because I Wanted To Be In A Musical.

My Parents Never Put A Lot Of Pressure On Us To Be Any Kind Of Way.... I Have My Funny Moments Where I Look At Myself And Think, Oh, This Is A Disaster. But You Have To Give Yourself A Reality Check And Go, All Right, If I Feel This Way, I'm Going To Do Something About It That's Healthy. I Can't Look At Somebody Who Is 6 Feet Tall And 120 Pounds And Say, I'm Going To Get That Body. That's Just Never Going To Happen. You Have To Work With What You've Got.

I'm Just In Work Mode, And That Prevents Me From Going Into The Hollywood Starlet Mode, I Suppose.

I Value My Privacy And My Personal Life - And I Certainly Don't Exploit My Personal Life.

If You Have Breakouts, It Can Be Really Healing, It's A Little Bit Stinky, But If You're Not Sleeping Over At Your Boyfriend's, It's Really Effective

Do I Think Men Are Complicated? People Are Complicated! I Don't Know That There Is One Particular Aspect Of Men In General That I Don't Understand - Other Than Why Do They Have Nipples? I Thought We Decided That Men Are Just Big, Hairy Apes.

I'm Not Anxious To Starve Myself. For Me, It's Not At All Sexy To Be Ultra-thin.

I Don't Know If I've Got Swept Up. It's So Shocking When You Hear That Calvin Klein Wants You For Their New Campaign. You're Like "who Me?". I Guess You Have To Decide Where You Draw The Line Between You Saying, This Is Fun, Pretty And Fabulous, And Being Over-exposed.

Every Film Is Exciting Because I Get New Tools And Cool New Things To Do.

I Think That I Sort Of See Other Actresses Are Kind Of Proud Of The Way They Look And Show It Off. That's Never Really Been My Style. I Really Don't Think That It's Disgusting Or Wrong, If You're 18 You're 18, It's Your Body, It's Your Right To Show Yourself, However, I Don't Really Take A Part In That. I Like To Look Nice, But I Think That There's Ways Of Doing It That Are More Tasteful Than Just Wearing A Bikini Wherever You Go.

We Are Supposed To Be Liberated In America But If Our President [george W. Bush] Had His Way, We Wouldn't Be Educated About Sex At All. Every Woman Would Have Six Children And We Wouldn't Be Able To Have Abortions.

I've Always Been Very Focused On My Career. But, It's Good To Have People [say], "okay, You Need A Vacation." "i Do? Oh Yeah, You're Right. I Think I Do."

My Mom Was Always Active. She Was Always An Active Voter, Whether It Was Local, State, Or Federal Elections. My Mom Would Take Us To Polling Locations When We Were Kids.

I Did An Interview Where They Were Harping On And On About Sensuality And Sexuality... Really, I Have Nothing To Say About Any Of That Stuff Because It's So Boring And I Never Think About It.

Different Things Work For Different People. One Thing I've Realized, Though, Is That The Work That I've Done On Myself Outside Of My Work As An Actress Has Really Allowed Me To Open Up My Mind. I Think I Understand My Emotional State And My Complexities Now In A Much Clearer Way, And I Can Put Them To Rest In A Way That There's Almost A Catharsis That Happens Through The Work, Where I Can Do It And Then Find Myself Again.

Improvisation Has Never Been My Strong Point.

Sodastream Is A Company That Is Not Only Committed To The Environment, But To Building A Bridge To Peace Between Israel And Palestine, Supporting Neighbors Working Alongside Each Other, Receiving Equal Pay, Equal Benefits And Equal Rights. That Is What Is Happening In Their Ma'ale Adumim Factory Every Working Day.

I Once Heard That Women Dress For Women -- Not For Men -- And I Think That Has Some Truth To It. Men, What Do They Know? They Don't Know If You Gain Or Lose Five Pounds. They're Oblivious To Those Kinds Of Things. A Lot Of Men Will Say "i Like You Just As You Are." And You're Like "but I'm Bloated!" If They're Attracted To You, They're Attracted To You.

Claims Have Been Made That I've Been On A Strict Workout Routine Regulated By Co-stars, Whipped Into Shape By Trainers I've Never Met, Eating Sprouted Grains I Can't Pronounce And Ultimately Losing 14 Pounds Off My 5'3" Frame. Losing 14 Pounds Out Of Necessity In Order To Live A Healthier Life Is A Huge Victory. I'm A Petite Person To Begin With, So The Idea Of My Losing This Amount Of Weight Is Utter Lunacy. If I Were To Lose 14 Pounds, I'd Have To Part With Both Arms. And A Foot.

I Campaigned For [barack] Obama For More Than A Year. I Was In Iowa, Minnesota, California, Arizona - Just Traveling Around To Help Get The Word Out. It Was Such A Huge, Spirited Campaign, And So Positive. But You Travel Around To Cities In The U.s. Now And There's Just This Hopelessness That Has Set In. It Makes It Hard To Understand Why It Seems So Impossible To Make Any Kind Of Progressive Change With An Administration That Is Seemingly Progressive, Or Why We Keep Encountering Such Political Roadblocks To Change.

I Like Taking Parts Where I'm Like: "i Don't Know How I'm Going To Do This Exactly But I Know I Can Do It." As Opposed To Doing Something Where You Go: "there's Nothing That I Can Contribute To This."

Are People Who Want This Kind Of Progressive Change Not Turning Up At Polling Stations? Are They Not Voting For Progressive Representatives? It's Hard To Put Your Finger On Why We Are Where We Are.

For Day-to-day Beauty, I'm A Q-tip And Vaseline Kind Of Girl. I Never Leave Home Without Q-tips - They're A Great Fix For Any Makeup Emergencies.

I Went Through This Realization That Acting, At Its Heart, Is The Ability To Manipulate Your Own Emotions.

If Occupy Wall Street Was Actually A March, And People From All Around The Country Could Collect And March Toward Washington, D.c., As Part Of This Massive Movement Of People . . . I Think That Kind Of Pressure Is Much More Powerful Than A Sit-in That Seems To Be A Little Unorganized.

There Are People In America Who Are Absolutely Desperate Right Now, Who Have No Means To Support Their Families, Who Have No Opportunities To Better Themselves Or Their Education - And They're Not That Different From The Farmers And Working-class People That I Visited When I Went To Kenya With Oxfam.

I Believe That Luck Is Opportunity Meeting Preparation.

I Do Think On Some Basic Level We Are Animals, And By Instinct We Kind Of Breed Accordingly. But As Much As I Believe That, I Work Really Hard When I'm In A Relationship To Make It Work In A Monogamous Way.

You Have Cameron Crowe Write An Incredible Monologue For You Just Based On The Things That You're Talking About. It Just Became This Opportunity That Was Too Exciting A Process To Pass Up.

My Family Grew Up Relying On Public Assistance To Help Provide Meals For Our Family. Child Hunger In America Is A Real And Often Overlooked Problem, But One That Together, We Can Fix.

Together We Can

I'm An Actor For Hire. It's Important Not To Forget That You're Disposable....when You Have That Mentality, You Fight For The Jobs You Want.

I'd Rather Go To The White House Correspondents' Dinner Than Any Awards Show.

I Would Never Knowingly Go Into A Film That I Wouldn't Pay To See, Or Something That Didn't Challenge Me.

I Never Struggled With Trying To Figure Out What It Was I Wanted To Do Or What Made The Sparks Go For Me.

One Of The Best Things For A Woman To Hear Is That She Is Sexy.

My Favorite Actors Are Actors Who Are Enigmatic And Mysterious And Never Make The Obvious Choice In Terms Of The Projects They Do Or Who They Work With Or Their Craft. But I Think That The Less I Know About An Actor, The More Chance I Have Of Allowing Their Own Persona To Kind Of Slip Away So I Can Get Completely Lost In The Character They're Playing, And The More That People Think They Know About Your Personal Life, The More Difficult It Becomes To Preserve That.

I Don't Think I Need Too Much Help. I Think My Head's On Pretty Straight, And I'm Pretty Realistic About Things. I'm Very Focused, So That Certainly Prevents Me From Going All Over The Place.

[in London] There Was Definitely Less Need To Wear My Big Sunglasses.

I Have Always... Expected A Lot From Myself.

These Tabloid Magazines - I Think They're Hideous And The Downfall Of Society.

I Didn't Want To Be Driving To Work Everyday And Sending Out My Starbucks Order. I Didn't Want To Be In New York Or L.a. I Wanted To Have Space And I Wanted To Be In A Remote Place Where All Of Us Could Just Be Ourselves And Not Worry About Anyone Trying To Listen In Or Get In On That. I Wanted To Just Be Comfortable. I Feel Like Being In A Big City - As Much As I Find New York, In Particular, Very Inspiring In A Lot Of Ways - Can Also Be Claustrophobic.

I'm Happiest When I Have Something To Focus My Energy On.

I Would Have Loved To Have Gone Into Diagnostic Medicine.

I’m Not Telling People Where To Give Money, But If There Is To Be A Spotlight Shed On Me, Then I’d Like To Direct That Spotlight Onto Causes I Think Are Worthy Or Onto Interesting, Progressive Figures.

You Read Statistics All The Time Like, "13 Million People Are At Risk Because Of The Severe Drought In East Africa," But I Think Those Kinds Of Numbers Fall On Deaf Ears - There's So Much Devastation In The World, That It's A Bit Overwhelming For People.

People Are Fed Up - And I Think Quite Rightfully So. But What Are They Proposing As An Alternative To Just Being Upset Or Feeling Disillusioned Or Abandoned? That Kind Of Protest Movement Really Needs To Happen On A Much Bigger Scale, But There Needs To Be A Clearer Message.

I Don't Go To Mcdonald's Anymore. After I Saw Super Size Me... No Way!

It's Important For People To Figure Out Their Own Lives Before Involving Someone Else - To Gauge Where You Are And Work On Your Own Issues.

My Grandmother Was Also An Active Member Of The Tenants Association And A Staunch Supporter Of The Democratic Party, And Both Of My Parents Were Extremely Liberal, So I Think I Grew Up In A Household That Was Very Politically Conscious - We All Watched The Elections On Tv, And We Watched The Debates. So It Was An Awareness That We Were Raised With, And As We Grew Into Young Adults, We Just Naturally Became Politically Active. It Was Just Understood That It Was Important, That It Was Our Responsibility.

You're Married, And Suddenly You Have Your Own Family. There's A Nice Comfort In That. That Part Of Your Life Is Certain ... You've Got Your Home In That Other Person.

If You Open Up A Magazine And There's A Photograph Of You With A Giant Red Circle Around Your Thigh, Like, Look At This Cellulite, Any Person - I Don't Care What You Do - Would Be Mortified. It's No Wonder People Get Crazy About It.

I Want To Look Good, Obviously. I Don't Want To Look At The Screen And Go, Oh, My Skin Looks Terrible, Or, I Look Exhausted. That's Why I Take Care Of Myself When I Work.

I Love Road Trips, I Love Driving, I Love Finding Little Towns. I Just Think It's The Best Way To Travel.

I Would Love To Work On Broadway, But I Don't Know That It Would Manifest Itself In Musical Theater.... I Have Terrible Stage Fright That I'd Have To Get Over.

A Smile From An Attractive Woman At A Bar Very Rarely Ends Up In Any Sort Of Sexual Encounter. But A Man Is A Fool Not To Push The Suggestion As Far As It Will Go, And He's That Man.

I've Been Fortunate Enough To Travel With Oxfam Several Times, And They're Always So Well Organized, So It Was A Good Way To Show The Kind Of Work They're Doing.

You Really Hope That People Who Want To Be Politically Active Aren't So Disillusioned At This Point. I Do Feel Positive About What's Happening. I Think That With All Of These Movements, And This Growing Collective Voice That's Emerging, People Are Starting To Come Out Of The Kind Of Dazed State That They Were In For So Many Years. But It's Tough To Know The Best Way To Effect Change Now. Campaigning Alone No Longer Seems To Be The Answer.

I Just Want To Work On Things That Are Really Hard, And When I'm Not Working On Things That Are Really Hard, I Want To Hang Out With People I Like To Be With, And That's It.

My Father Is From Copenhagen And He Lived There Until He Was In His Late 20s. We Always Grew Up With A Lot Of Danish Culture At Home. My Mother Is Jewish But We Always Celebrated Christmas Because We Loved The Traditions Of Danish Christmas.

Whenever I'm Taking Time Off, All I'm Thinking About Is Working.

Having Visited Oxfam-funded School Programs In Rural Communities Has Made Me Realise How Vital Education Is To Developing Countries In Bringing People Out Of Poverty And Giving Them A Sense Of Dignity, Self-worth And Confidence.

It's So Difficult To Feel Comfortable In The Body You Have. You Always Want To Look A Different Way, Taller Or Thinner, Whatever It May Be. I Still Struggle With It. I Think Everybody Does.

I’ve Never Considered Myself A Femme Fatale As I’ve Never Seduced Anyone And Ruined Their Lives. At Least As Far As I Know.

I've Always Wanted To Work With Cameron Crowe. I've Auditioned For Him Several Times For Various Projects Over The Last Ten Years, And I've Always Admired The Way He Worked With Me.

Actresses Get Stupid Questions Asked Of Them All The Time, Like, ‘how Do You Stay Sexy?’ Or ‘what’s Your Sexiest Quality?’ All These Ridiculous Things You Would Never Ask A Man.

Growing Up I Never Got Into Comic Books At All. I Didn't Have Any Inspiration For It.

There Is Nothing Strange, Creepy, Or Inappropriate About John Travolta .

When I'm Single, I Don't Focus. I Focus On A Guy If He's A Boyfriend, But I Don't Focus On Finding A Boyfriend. They're Never Around When You Want Them.

I've Always Loved Louisiana And Particularly New Orleans, And I Think A Lot Of People When They Travel There, Think They're Home There - There Are Just So Many Spirits, It's So Rich In Culture. It's Steeped In A True Spirit Of Individuality That Makes This Country. It's The Oldest Part Of Our Story, In A Way. And Being In That Climate, It Was Really Conducive To Letting Our Imaginations Soar. I Found It To Be The True Inspiration.

When I'm Not Working Or Promoting Something, I Try To Be As Under-the-radar As I Can .

I Get Tested For Hiv Twice A Year.... One Has To Be Socially Aware. It's Part Of Being A Decent Human To Be Tested For Stds. It's Just Disgusting Behaviour When People Don't. It's So Irresponsible.

You Think That Your Life Is Going To Be One Way, And Then, For Various Reasons Or Whatever, It Doesn't Work Out.

It's Important Not To Lose Who You Are In A Relationship Just Because It's Nice To Cuddle With Somebody.

I'm Terrified To Ride A Bike In A City - And I Grew Up Riding Bikes In The City. I've Just Heard Enough Stories - I Have Enough Friends Who've Been Hit By Taxicabs And Things.

La's A Very Hard Place To Be Unless You Have People There That Love You. It Can Be Very, Very Lonely, And It Can Eat You Up If You Don't Take Care Of Yourself. In La, Nobody Wants To Talk To Each Other, Everybody's Giving Each Other Catty Looks.

I Don't Think There's Any Kind Of Preparation For Sudden Celebrity. I Think You Almost Have This Slight Nervous Breakdown When That Kind Of Media Attention Happens. I Mean, You're Doing The Same Kind Of Thing That You Do All The Time, Only You Have To Make These Weird Adjustments. Like, You're Buying A Slice Of Pizza And Somebody's Outside Photographing You Which Is Weird - That's Not Normal! It's Very Uncomfortable.

I'm Very Comfortable With My Sexuality, My Body, My Face - Well, Sometimes I'm Not Comfortable With My Face, But It's Stuck There And There's Nothing I Can Do About It.

I'm Just A Big Believer In 'you Must Love Yourself Before You Can Love Anybody Else,' And I Think For Me That Breeds The Most Inspired Relationships.

There Are More Similarities Than Differences When It Comes To Preparation Of A Performance. You're Using Some Lyrics, You Have A Relationship With Them, They Apply To Different Parts Of Your Life And Different Circumstances, Different Memories, Different Stories You Have In Your Head. You Form Personal Relationships With The Song. I Think That's Very Similar, In A Way, To Prepping A Character. You Pour Your Own Personality, In A Sense, Into The Character, You Sympathize With A Character In A Way That's Similar To The Way You Might Sympathize With A Song.

I'm Always Surprised That Certain Actors Have Twitter Accounts. I Guess They Use It In A Way That Works For Them. But I'd Rather That People Had Less Access To My Personal Life. If I Could Keep It That Way, I'd Be A Happy Lady.

I Have An Obsessive Character. I Manicure My Nails At Three In The Morning Because Nobody Else Can Do It The Right Way. Maybe That's The Secret To My Success.

The Truth Isn't All Things To All People All Of The Time.

I Still Eat A Burger At A Counter With Ketchup Dripping Down My Face.

I Don't Do Damsel In Distress Very Well. It's Hard For Me To Play A Victim.

Damsel In Distress

Well, You Put A Little Piece Of Yourself Into Every Character That You Do. Even If You're Playing Some Psychotic Person, Which Of Course I'm Not, Some Part Of You Is In That Character And It's Hopefully Believable. I Always Come Back To The Fact That My Own Instinct Is Better Than Something I Build In My Mind.

It's A Required Part Of Your Film History To Know Who Woody Is. His Movies Are So Wonderful, And Not Just Funny But So Insightful About Human Behavior.

I'm Not A Statistician, But It Doesn't Take A Genious To Work Out That 100 Million Children Being Denied An Education Is Ridiculous. There Is Nothing Lost In Translation Here, It's Obvious That's Wrong.

I Don't Profess To Know How To Balance The Positive And The Negative Media Attention. It's A Gamble Every Time You Put Yourself Out There, And, Certainly, I'm Always Readjusting To It.

I Think People Today Are Very Cynical. They Need To Bring Other People Down. Reality Television And Tabloid Magazinesnever Before Did We Need To See Movie Stars Taking Out Their Garbage. But All Of A Sudden, It's Front-page Newstrying To Figure Out Who's Dating Whom, All That Stuff. Who Cares?

I Don't Want To Be The Ingenue Anymore. It's Nice To Be Glamorous, But I Don't Want To Always Be An Object Of Desire. Because It Doesn't Last.

When We Live Our Lives Everyday, We're Met By Opportunities, And Most Of Us Don't Even Recognize Them.

You Have To Believe That You Can Act And That You're The Right Person For The Job But I Think It's Good To Not Always Know How You're Going To Do It. The Fun Part Is Trying To Figure It Out.

Obviously Filming And Working Has Consistently Been A Part Of My Life. I've Never Had A Huge Break Of Time When I Wasn't Working On Something Or Promoting Something.

I Don't Plan On Selling Out. I Mean, It's Nice To Get A Dinner Reservation Ahead Of Other People, But When It Comes Down To It, The Most Important Thing To Me Is The Actual Work.

Being A Movie Star Is A Quality That Somebody Sort Of Embodies, And Being A Celebrity Is Something That People Give To You. It Has To Do With Being Recognizable, As Opposed To Something That People Recognize In You. I Just Hope To Make Good Movies. I Know That Sounds Simple, But It's True.

I Think It's Important For People To Be Aware Of The Impact That Climate Change Is Having On This Huge Community Of People.

I'm So Tired Of Hearing Casting Directors Ask If I Have A Sore Throat. The People Who Have Told Me That My Voice Is Distinctive, It's Unusual...those People Have Always Been Close To My Heart.

It Is Important To Remind Young People That Peace Is The Only Victory.

You Work Hard Making Independent Films For Fourteen Years And You Get Voted Best Breasts.

Contrary To Popular Belief, I'm Not Promiscuous. There Does Seem To Be A Mistaken Belief Out There That I Am Sexually Available Somehow Which Is Not To Say That I'm Not Open-minded About Sex.

I'm Good With Dialect. Some Actors Do It Immediately; Other Actors Never Quite Get It. It's Something I've Always Really Enjoyed And Something I've Always Been Pretty Fast With.

I Find Beauty In Unusual Things, Like Hanging Your Head Out The Window Or Sitting On A Fire Escape.

It's So Archaic. It's Just, Like, Bizarre To Me. I Feel Like In 10 Or 15 Years' Time Our Children Are Going To Look Back And Say, 'what? You Were Around When Gay People Weren't Allowed To Get Married?'

I Wouldn't Say I'm A Serial Monogamist ... I Mean, I Went Through Periods Of Time When I Was, Ah, Single. But When I'm In A Relationship, I'm In A Relationship.

I Never Really Thought About Getting Married - It Just Kind Of Happened. It Seemed Natural, The Right Thing To Do. It Was Kind Of A Celebration Of The Time.

I'd Rather Be Really Good At Something Or Not Do It At All.

I Don't Profess To Know Anything About Marriage That Anybody Else Doesn't Know, Or How To Make It Right. I Don't Want To Read About Somebody Who's Giving Me Relationship Advice. So I Try To Keep Some Things For Myself, To Have A Private Life.

I Always Like To Start With A Matte Base Then Add Shimmer.

I Love To Sing. I Don't Think It's Strange For Singers To Act, Or Painters To Sculpt. I Don't Want To Ever Feel Like I'm Cornered Into One Expression Of Creativity Because I'm Successful At Making Films Or Being An Actor. I Guess It's Best To Not Paint Yourself Into That Corner.

I Don't Think [being Monogamous] Is A Natural Instinct For Human Beings, But It Doesn't Mean I Don't Believe In Monogamy Or True Love. I Believe In Finding A Soul Mate. Monogamy Can Be Hard Work For Some People. I Don't Think It Applies To Everybody, And I Don't Think A Lot Of People Can Do It.

As An Actor, Anything That You Have To Help Get You Into Character Is Helpful.

I Always Check In The Mirror To Make Sure Nothing Is See-through.

I Definitely Believe In Plastic Surgery. I Don't Want To Be An Old Hag. There's No Fun In That.

They're [social Media] Amazing Tools To Communicate Information - Especially About Different Causes Or Crises Or Movements.

I Just Don't Like The Feeling Of Knowing Something That Somebody Else Doesn't.

Knowing Something

I Don't Know Necessarily That I Would Produce Under My Own Company Right Now. Producing Is Not Something That I'm Thinking About. Directing Is Something That I Will Be Doing Very Shortly, Trying To Figure Out What To Get My Hands On. And I Can't Imagine Writing A Script And Wanting To Direct It And Not Having A Producing Credit, Because I Would Want To Have A Big Chunk Of Power On That End, If I Wrote Something.

I Hope It Never Becomes Normal To Feel Scrutinized.

I Believe In Finding A Soulmate.

What About My Brain? What About My Heart? What About My Kidneys And My Gallbladder?

As A Person In The Public Eye, I Have Always Felt That If I Have The Good Fortune Of Being Able To Shed A Spotlight On Different Causes That I Feel Passionately About...

Every Director Is Themselves; [they're] Not Playing A Part.

If You Feel Glamorous, You Definitely Look Glamorous.

There's No Such Thing As An Aura Of Mystery Anymore. It Doesn't Exist. That's A Thing Of The Past.

I Don't Have A Facebook Or A Twitter Account, And I Don't Know How I Feel About This Idea Of, "now, I'm Eating Dinner, And I Want Everyone To Know That I'm Having Dinner At This Time." Or "i Just Mailed A Letter And Dropped Off My Kids." That, To Me, Is A Very Strange Phenomenon.

I Don't Feel The Need To Brand Myself In That Way [social Media]. But As A Means To Share Information And Raise Awareness Of Things, I Think These Social-networking Platforms Are Unprecedented.

Every Actor Has A Production Company Already. It's Just A Matter Of Producing Your Own Films Under The Label Of Your Own Production Company.

For Me, Collaborating Is A Marriage Of The Minds. It's Two Or More People Coming Together And Making An Idea Come Alive. Using Their Own Creative Knowledge Or Creative Spirit To Make The Best Version Of An Idea. To Inspire An Idea And To Challenge It To Be Better Than Just One Person's Vision For It.

I Don't Think About Being Sexy, Being Seductive. What You Don't Want To See Is Somebody Trying To Be Sexy. That's The Most Unsexy Thing.

It's Nice To Have A Crush On Someone. It Feels Like You're Alive, You Know?

I Hope They Make A Video Game Of Me. At Least I Wouldn't Have Any Cellulite Then.
