In A Short Amount Of Time, I've Lived So Much, Had So Many Experiences And Met So Many Different Types Of People And Even Lived In So Many Countries. If I Had Been In School, I'd Be Learning About The World From Books.

When You're Asking About Roles For Men And Women, Men Certainly Have A Longer Shelf Life. Men Can Play The Sexy Lead For 20 Years Longer Than We Can.

I Eat Like A Caveman.

When You Don't Have Anybody To Take Care Of You, Then You Could Go Both Ways: You Could Do Whatever You Want, Or You Could Take Charge And Be Your Own Parent.

I Was A Weirdo. I Wasn't Picked On Or Anything. And I Wasn't Smarter Than The Other Kids; That's Not Why I Didn't Fit In. I've Always Had This Weird Anxiety. I Hated Recess. I Didn't Like Field Trips. Parties Really Stressed Me Out. And I Had A Very Different Sense Of Humour.

I Just Think It Should Be Illegal To Call Someone Fat On Tv... Because Why Is Humiliating People Funny?

I've Never Like Had A System Or A Program, I Always Think That I Don't Know How To Act. I'll Adapt To Any Director Because I Don't Really Have A Set Way That I Do Things. If A Director Hires Me And Says, "i Want You To Get Started Right Now And Do This Research, This Research, This Research And I Want You To Have Every Line Memorized Before You Ever Show Up For The First Day," Then That's What I'll Do.

I'm Sorry, I Just Did A Shot

I'm Still The Same And I Don't Feel Any Different But When The Elevator Doors Open And Everybody Gasps, It's An Alienating Feeling.

Once I'm Obsessed With Somebody, I'm Terrified Of Them Instantly. I'm Not Scared Of Them - I'm Scared Of Me And How I Will React.

As Soon As Somebody Farts Around Me, I Think It's Hilarious. This Is Something My Brothers Did That Now The Boys At Work Are Obsessed With. You Cup It, And Then You Throw It In Someone's Face And Say, ‘take A Bite Out Of That Cheeseburger!'

You Guys Are Just Standing Up Because I Fell, And It's So Embarrassing.

You Can't Ever Let Yourself Be Thrown By A Camera. That's Never Good For An Actor. When You're Reading The Script, You Want To Work With Someone You Trust So There's Nothing To Worry About.

Being Inappropriate Comes Easy To Me.

When I Get Asked, 'what Are The Differences Between Twilight And Thg' I'm Like, 'erm, What Are The Similarities?'

My Husband Is A Very Present Husband, And That Has Made Going To Work Feel Easier. I Don't Feel Guilty. I Definitely Feel Less Guilt Because I Know He's There During Breakfast, Lunch And Supper If I'm Not.

I Went Through A Wood-chopping Phase When I Was Nine Or 10.

Not To Sound Rude, But [acting] Is Stupid. Everybody's Like "how Can You Remain With A Level Head?". And I'm Like "why Would I Ever Get Cocky? I'm Not Saving Anybody's Life. There Are Doctors Who Save Lives And Firemen Who Run Into Burning Buildings. I'm Making Movies. It's Stupid."

I Do Have Big Ambitions, But I Think We All Do. I Just Want To Keep Working Hard And Being Happy.

Everyone's Brain Works In A Different Way. I Didn't Feel Smart In School; I Just Didn't Get It. I Thought I Was An Idiot. Until I Got Out.

Not Completely, But Neither Of Us Gets Mad When The Other Doesn't Text Back Or Call. Life's Super-busy. Obviously You Know What They're Doing, And You Trust Them. We're So Young That It Would Almost Be Like If We Lived In The Same City, What Would Happen? We'd Be Living Together. At Least This Way He's In The Same Boat As I Am: We Can Go Out And Have Our Own Lives And Know That We Have Each Other.

This Is Hilarious. First, People Say How So Many Actresses In Hollywood Look Anorexic, And Now They Are Criticizing Me For Looking Normal. Body Images Are Too Often Adopted By Young Girls And Women - Thanks To What They Are Constantly Being Shown As Being Attractive.

I Had To Learn How To Chop Wood Actually - I Don't Think My Dad Would Have Let Me Go Chop Wood In The Backyard Growing Up.

It's Beautiful When You Watch Something Good Happen To Somebody When It's Well Deserved.

All I Need In A Relationship Is Somebody To Watch Tv With Me.

I Was Raised To Have Value For Money, To Have Respect For Money, Even Though You Have A Lot Of It.

I Was Going To Come In And Push You Down The Stairs.

I Hate People Who Say, "oh, I'm Addicted To Working Out". I Just Want To Punch Those People In The Face.

It's Something I Always Tell Myself: 'you Need To Calm The F--k Down. You Don't Want To Constantly Be A Gif.

I Wasn't Pretty Enough To Play The Popular Girl, I Wasn't Mousy Enough To Be The Mousy Girl, So I Never Fit In. And So I'd Get Close, But I Never Got Anywhere, And It Was Really Painful.

They Kept Saying 'it's Sushi-grade!' And I'm Like... 'put Some Soy Sauce On This. Get Me Some Rice. And Cook It. And Then Get Me Out Of Here.

I'm Trying Not To Change.

You Ask If You Look Good And You Know People Are Lying. It Was A Depressing Thing To Experience. I Was Going To These Parties Where I Used To Be Ignored And Then All Of A Sudden People Are Paying Attention To Me.

I'm Going To Do My Thing And If You React A Certain Way - With Pity Or With Anger - That's Up To You.

When We Were Kids, We Would Never Open The Minibar. A $6 Snickers Bar? But The Other Day I Was In A Hotel And I Was Staring At A Snickers Bar, And I Finally Just Ate It. Then It Was Like Something In Me Snapped. I Opened All These Drinks. I Thought: I Can Do It Now. Now I'm All Grown-up. I Can Eat Things From The Minibar.

I Think That People Are Built The Way That They’re Built. There’s That Kate Moss Quote That’s Like ‘nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels’ And I Can Name A Lot Of Things That Taste Better Than Skinny Feels: Bread, Potatoes … A Philly Cheesesteak And Fries.

Why Can't I Say Anything Normal?

In Hollywood, I'm Obese. I'm Considered A Fat Actress. I Eat Like A Caveman. I'll Be The Only Actress That Doesn't Have Anorexia Rumors! I'm Never Going To Starve Myself For A Part. I'm Invincible. I Don't Want Little Girls To Be Like "oh, I Want To Look Like Katniss, So I'm Going To Skip Dinner!"

My Run Is So Weird. That's What I'm Most Nervous About In This Whole Ordeal. I'm Most Nervous About Everybody Making Fun Of The Way I Run. I Do, Like, Karate Hands. Instead Of Running With My Hands Closed Together Like A Normal Person. It's Like I'm Trying To Be Aerodynamic Or Something, So My Hands Are Straight Like Razors. Karate Hands.

I’d Rather Look Chubby On Screen And Like A Person In Real Life.

People Treating You Differently, When You Don't Feel Any Different, Is Really Alienating.

I Never Imagined Myself As An Actor Who Would Be In Films. I Always Only Thought Of Myself Being In A Play Or A Musical.

You Don't Want Your Relationship To Be In The Press, But At The Same Time, And This Is Only A Theory, The More You Try And Keep It Secret, The More The Media Tries To Crack It Open.

You Have A Choice. You Don’t Have To Be A Person Who Spreads Negativity And Lies For A Living. You Can Do Something Good. You Can Be Good. Let’s Just Make That Choice And — It Feels Better.

I've Always Loved Food Too Much To Be A Model.

"our First Conversation Was On The Phone. I Was In The Bathtub, And I Had To Tell Him That I Was In The Bathtub Because I Was Afraid He Would Think I Was, Like, Playing In The Toilet When He Heard Water Swishing Around. [...] Then We Had Breakfast In Santa Monica, And I Spit Egg Inside Of His Mouth When I Was Talking.

Acting, Films, Scripts, Is Literally The Only Thing I’m 100 Percent Confident In. I Know What I’m Doing. I Just Understand It, And I Love It. When I’m On Set, That’s When I Feel The Most At Home And In Control.

There Are Actresses Who Build Themselves, And Then There Are Actresses Who Are Built By Others. I Want To Build Myself.

I Hate Saying, 'i Like Exercising.' I Want To Punch People Who Say That In The Face.

I Adapt To Directors, I Don't Like Making Directors Adapt To Me. If I'm With Clint Eastwood Then I'll Do Two Takes, If I'm With Fincher I'll Do 50 - Though The Thought Of That Sounds Horrible.

I Think The Biggest Reason That Actors Are Complete A-holes As Soon As They Become Famous Is Because They Forget That This A Job. They Think That It's About Them, And It's Not.

We Hould Totally Make Out Right Now

I Just Kind Of Opened Up And Said, 'i Feel Like A Rag Doll. I Have Hair And Makeup People Coming To My House Every Day And Putting Me In New, Uncomfortable, Weird Dresses And Expensive Shoes, And I Just Shut Down And Raise My Arms Up For Them To Get The Dress On, And Pout My Lips When They Need To Put The Lipstick On.'

I Never Studied Acting, Yet The First Time I Auditioned And Did A Cold Reading, I Surprised Everyone For My Honesty And Limpidity. They Told Me I Could Play Any Role Because I Have No Walls, I Don’t Put Anything Between Me And The Character I Have To Play.

I Just Went To The Doctor Today, I Got A Chest X-ray Of My Lungs And Discovered That My Breasts Are Uneven.

I Feel Like I Got A Ticket To Go To Another Planet And I'm Moving There And There's No Turning Back, And I Don't Know If I'm Going To Like That Other Planet Or Have Friends There.

Seeing What Is Wrong And How It Could Be Made Right Propels Us Into Action, But In That Action We Often Leave Other People Behind And Don't Give Ourselves Enough Time To Be Present, Or To Stop And Reflect. Leaders Have To Get Comfortable With Pausing In That Uncomfortable Gap.

Well, At Least I Had On Underwear

It's So Easy To Think That This [celebrity] Is Reality; That People Are Lining Up Outside Just To Write Down What I Have To Say. That's Not Real; That's Weird.

There Are Certain Times When A Certain Person Says Something To Me, That Will Stick With Me For A Really Long Time. But I Don't Remember One Person Being My Idol, Or Anything Like That.

You Can Have Children And Love Them With All Your Heart And Soul, And Love Your Family, And It's Still Ok To Have A Fire In You. That Doesn't Have Anything To Do With Your Family.

I Changed Schools A Lot When I Was In Elementary School Because Some Girls Were Mean. They Were Less Mean In Middle School, Because I Was Doing All Right; Although This One Girl Gave Me Invitations To Hand Out To Her Birthday Party That I Wasn't Invited To.

I Just Think It Should Be Illegal To Call Somebody Fat On Tv. . . . I Think When It Comes To The Media, The Media Needs To Take Responsibility For The Effect That It Has On Our Younger Generation, On These Girls Who Are Watching These Television Shows And Picking Up How To Talk And How To Be Cool, So Then All Of A Sudden Being Funny Is Making Fun Of The Girl Who's Wearing An Ugly Dress.

I Promise You, Anybody Given The Choice Of That Kind Of Money Or Having To Make A Phone Call To Tell Your Dad That Something Like That Has Happened, It’s Not Worth It.

If You Don't Look Like An Airbrushed Model ... You Have To Look Past It. You Look How You Look. What Are You Going To Do?

There's Always Male Roles I Want To Play. I'm So Annoyed When I Watch Movies And Go, "that Could Have Been Played By A Woman."

When I'm Not Working, I Am The Laziest Person. I Can Literally Lie On A Couch And Watch Television For 15 Hours.

As Hard As It Is And As Tired As I Am, I Force Myself To Get Dinner At Least Once A Week With My Girlfriends, Or Have A Sleepover. Otherwise My Life Is Just Work.

Like Backstage, I Just Peed Like Every 3 Seconds. I Think Yur Staff Thinks I Have Diarrhea.

I Mean, If We're Regulating Cigarettes And Sex And Cuss Words, Because Of The Effect They Have On Our Younger Generation, Why Aren't We Regulating Things Like Calling People Fat?

Without My Family, I Would Be Nothing.

There's Always A Backlash In Everything That You Do, But It's Not Going To Stop Or Change Anything. And It's Not Only An Issue In Hollywood.

I View The Director As My Boss. I'm The Pawn On The Chess Board. I Don't Say Something To The Director Easily, Because They Are My Boss.

I'm Not Ready To Own A Place Yet. I Have The Money, But I Don't Have The Maturity.

I Think The Most Takes I've Ever Done Would Probably Be Maybe 10, On Like A Big Studio Movie Where You Can Do Those. But After A While It's Like, "it's Not Gonna Get Any Better, This Is What It Is," The Light's Just Gonna Dull From Your Eyes. I Think The More You Do It, The Less The Actors Listen To Each Other Because Then You Start Memorizing The Other Person's Lines And You Start Getting Bored.

I Like To Adapt To A Director's Way Of Working. I Love Doing That. Each Director Is So Different, And You Have To Adapt To This New Way Of Doing Something. That's What's Amazing To Me. That's Why I Love Directors. I Don't Want To Director To Have To Work Around Me. I Think It's More Fun For Me To Come In On Their Thing.

I Feel Like I'm Over-paid-attention-to. I'm Not Trying To Be A Gif. I'm Not Trying To Be A Picked-up-on-twitter Quote. All I'm Trying To Do Is Act. And I Have To Promote Movies. And I Am, At The End Of The Day, I Guess, A F - King Lunatic.

I Memorize My Lines And I Show Up. I Think It's Just Instinctual, And Sometimes It's Wrong And The Director Says, "no, Do It This Way." And Then I Can Change, Because I Didn't Spend All Night Practicing It This One Way. All I Do To Get Ready For The Day Is The Night Before, I Read My Lines Once Or Twice, Memorize Them, And Then I Show Up.

Yeah, When You're Making A Film, The Book Is A Good Tool, But Once You Have The Script And You're Making A Movie, You Have To Let Go Of The Book.

My Career Is One Thing In My Life That I Don't Plan.

What Does It Say, 'i Beat Meryl.'

My Cousin Cleaned Out A Shotgun For Me And Let Me Carry It Around The House, Because He Said, 'anybody Who Knows Anything About Guns Is Going To Know In A Second If Someone Has Held A Gun Before.' I Didn't Want To Be That Person. I Wanted To Be Practiced.

Yeah, I Screamed In Daniel Radcliffe's Face. We Were Both Doing Letterman. I Grabbed Him By The Shoulder. Of Course, I'm In 6-inch Heels. That Makes Me 6-foot-4. I'm Towering Over Him, Saying, 'i Love Harry Potter!' His Security People Were Nodding To Each Other - Should We Go?

I'm Always Just Very Nervous. I Never Feel Like, 'i've Got This'. I'm Always Very Nervous And Aware Of How Quickly People Can Hate You And That Scares Me. I Never Feel Like I'm On Top Of It Or I Know What I'm Doing... So, No. I Never Get A Big Head, I Just Get More And More Anxious.

At The End Of The Day, There's Probably Nothing That Makes Me Feel Better Than Junk Food And Reality Tv.

The End Of The Day

Don't Go See The Movies, I'm A Troll. I Think The Movie Was Great, But Their Biggest Mistake Was Me.

I'd Like To Direct At Some Point. But I Don't Know Because 10 Years Ago I Would Have Never Imagined That I'd Be Here. So In 10 Years From Now, I Might Be Running A Rodeo.

Where Are The Robert Redfords And Paul Newmans Of My Age Group? I Love James Franco, But Where's The Next James Franco? Where Are The Hunks Who Can Act?

I Learned That You Can't Have Any Expectations With Life. You Never Know What's Going To Happen.

Eating Is One Of My Favorite Parts Of The Day

You Look How You Look

It's Hard To Do, But I Think It's Really Important To Go Back And Watch Yourself.

My Icloud Keeps Telling Me To Back It Up, And I'm Like, 'i Don't Know How To Back You Up. Do It Yourself!'

How Do I Let The Director Know How Obsessed I Am And Willing To Do Anything For The Movie? Like, I Wanted To Write This One Director A Letter, So I Wrote Him A Handwritten Note. But Then I Was Like, 'how Many People Are Writing This Guy Handwritten Letters? Is It Going To Seem Cheesy? What Do I Do?'

I Dress Like An Old Woman In My Real Life. If You're Having Conversations With People, You Don't Want Them To Remember You As The Girl With The Tits, You Want Them To Pay Attention To What You're Saying

I Picked Up An Issue Of 'cosmopolitan' The Other Day That Had Tips For Job Interviews, Because I Was Like, "i Need To Get Better At Interviews." The Article Was Basically About How To Get Someone Not To Hate You In 20 Minutes. Every Single Thing They Told You Not To Do, I Was Like, "i Do That Every Day."

I Need To Just Find My Own Peace.

Why Can't We Just Be Nice? It's Like, We Grow Up, And Then We Get Right Back Into High School.

And When I'm On Set, I'm Just Thinking About The Script And Of Working. I Think I've Stayed Focused On The Work So Much That I Haven't Really Noticed My Life Start To Change Except For I've Gotten Busier.

I Run Into Grounded People All The Time. Given, Most Of Them Are Behind The Camera. But I Definitely By No Means Think I'm The Only One.

I Completely Agree When There Are Actors Who Say, "actors Should Stay Out Of Politics. We're Not Politicians."

I Couldn't Be Happier About Being A Part Of ‘hunger Games’ And To Play Katniss. I Have A Huge Responsibility To The Fans Of This Incredible Book And I Don’t Take It Lightly. I Will Give Everything I Have To These Movies And To This Role To Make It Worthy Of Suzanne Collins’ Masterpiece.

In Real Life, Bad Things Happen And They're Not Funny, And Then Bad Things Happen And They Can Be Funny. When You're Unhappy You Don't Go An Entire Time Without Laughing. You Don't Go Your Whole Life Without Laughing. It's Just Life.

If You Are Going To Do Something That You Have To Lie About, Don't Do It, It's Very Simple.

It's Better To Look Strong And Healthy.

It's Just So Bizarre How In This World If You Have Asthma, You Take Asthma Medication. If You Have Diabetes, You Take Diabetes Medication. But As Soon As You Have To Take Medicine For Your Mind, It's Such A Stigma Behind It.

I Never Wanted To Be An Actor. My Dad Was An Actor, And He Never Brought Joy Home, So I Didn't View It As Something That I Would Want To Do.

It's So Scary. And Then I End Up Getting So Nervous That I Get Like [i Am] Now. I Get Really Hyper. [squeals.] So Then I Go In Interviews And I'm Like, 'i'm Like A Chihuahua! I'm Shaking And Peeing!' And Then Afterwards, I'm Like, 'i Just Talked About Peeing On The Red Carpet.'

Be Strong. Don't Be A Follower, And Always Do The Right Thing. If You Have A Choice Between The Right Thing And The Wrong Thing, The Right Way Is Always The Less Stressful.

I Like The Financial Security Because I Know How Hard It Is For So Many People Who Struggle To Earn A Living. I'm Grateful I Don't Have To Worry About Money And I Can Live Very Freely And Do Something I Love And Get Paid Very Well To Do It. I Tell My Friends To Slap Me If They Ever Think I'm Getting Full Of Myself.

If I Don't Have Anything To Do All Day, I Might Not Even Put My Pants On.

I'd Like To Think That I Have A Plan, But You Can't Really Pick What Scripts You're Going To Get Or What Movie Is Going To Come Along.

I Have An Old Soul. I Don't Know Any Real-life Lingo, So I Have To Take It From Movies.

I Really Act For Myself. I Really Love It. I Don't Think There's A Way That You Could Handle These Schedules, All Of The Actual Work That Goes Into It, If You Don't Really, Really Love It.

Better Passion And Death Than Any More Of These'isms'. No More Of The Old Purpose Done Up In Aspic. Better Passion And Death.

I Just Don't Like That You Can Either Be Ugly And Smart Or Pretty And Dumb, Or Ugly And Nice Or Pretty And Mean.

I Was Having Chest Pains. Photoshop Made It Glamorous.

Hervey (weinstein) Thank You For Killing Whoever You Had To Kill To Get Me Up Here Today.

I Always Feel Like An Idiot Every Time I Fly First Class Because I’m A Kid. And I Just Sit There, And Everyone’s Got Their Newspapers And They’re On The Computer, And I’m Like, 'can I Get A Coloring Book, Please? Can I Get Some Crayons?'

I Remember During Oscar Season, The Thing I Hated Most Was Being Talked To Differently; People Treat You Differently. And Then I Suddenly Understood Why Celebrities Can Be So Weird; It's Hard To Act Normal When No-one Treats You Normally.

There Are Directors That I Want To Work With And That I Admire. You Can Love A Script, But If It Doesn't Have A Good Director, It Won't Be That.

I Don't Really Diet Or Anything. I'm Miserable When I'm Dieting And I Like The Way I Look. I'm Really Sick Of All These Actresses Looking Like Birds I'd Rather Look A Little Chubby On Camera And Look Like A Person In Real Life, Than Look Great On Screen And Look Like A Scarecrow In Real Life.

I Always Felt Like I Sucked At Everything, That I Could Never Find The Thing That I Liked. I Auditioned And I Probably Sucked, But I Had Decided 100 Percent That This Is What I Wanted To Do.

I'm Always Terrified Before Every Movie Because I Haven't Found Her [the Character], And I Don't Get It. [without Acting, I'd Have] Become A Nurse.

Why Would People Have Confidence In A Female Director When There Are So Few?

But Really, For The Most Part - Doing A Prequel Is Great Because You Do Have Room To Kind Of Free This Character And How They Got To Where They Are Instead Of Being A Slave To Exactly What The Previous Actor Did.

I Like When Things Are Hard; I'm Very Competitive. If Something Seems Difficult Or Impossible, It Interests Me.

There Is My Favorite Quote That I Ever Heard From Her [lori Petty],... 'things Can Happen To You, But They Don't Have To Happen To Your Soul.'

It's My Body, And It Should Be My Choice, And The Fact That It Is Not My Choice Is Absolutely Disgusting.

If Anyone Wants To Know The Weirdest Thing, It's Getting Your Hair Cut And Seeing It On The News. Terrorists Probably Knew About My Haircut.

I Can't Even Describe To Anybody What It Feels Like To Have My Naked Body Shot Across The World Like A News Flash Against My Will. It Just Makes Me Feel Like A Piece Of Meat That's Being Passed Around For Profit.

The Changes That Happened In My Life From Doing These Movies Are So Permanent That I Don't Think I'll Ever Really Say Goodbye, It'll Always Be A Part Of Me, The Hunger Games.

"helena Bonham Carter And Jeff Bridges Waved At Me. And, Of Course, It Would Be Absurd If They Were Waving At Me, So I Just Stared At Them. I Stared At Both Of Them. And They Were Like, 'alright, Fine.'

What's So Sad Is When We're Younger, If You Have A Bad Parent, That Is Normal To You And That's What You Think Of As Healthy.

"you Look How You Look," "be Comfortable. What Are You Going To Do? Be Hungry Every Single Day To Make Other People Happy? That's Just Dumb."

I Can't Hear Myself. I Can Stare At My Double Chin All I Want, But Hearing This Androgynous Voice, You Can't Even Tell What Sex I Am.

For 'x-men' I Was Lifting A Lot Of Weights. I Actually Lost A Lot Of Mass When I Quit 'x-men' Because I Was Working Out So Much And Very Muscular And Strong.

I Don't Like Going Out That Much. I'm Kind Of An Old Lady. After It's 11, I'm Like, 'don't These Kids Ever Get Tired?' When I'm Out, I Think About My Couch. Like, 'it Would Be Awesome To Be On It Right Now. I Bet There's An Episode Of Dance Moms On."

I Think Women Can Be Just As Sexist. Women Can Be Misogynistic, Too - More So, They Have More Freedom To Do It.

I Am Ashamed To Say I Auditioned Three Times Before I Even Watched Any Of The [x-men] Movies. And Then After I Watched The Movies, I Was Like, "oh My God, I've Been Doing It All Wrong, Why Are They Calling Me Back?

I Don't Like Going Out That Much. When I'm Out, I Think About My Couch.

I Want A Pizza With My Face On It.

I Tried To Avoid Making Plays Or Films That Weren't Telling A Story That I Felt Was Important. And What I Discovered In The Process Is, It Makes You More Empathic Because You Have To Enter Someone Else's Reality And You Learn To See Through Many Other People's Eyes.

My Family Went On A Cruise, And I Got A Terrible Haircut. Fyi: Never Get Your Hair Cut On A Cruise. And I Had, Like, This Blonde Curly 'fro, And I Walked Into The Gym The First Day Back In Seventh Grade And Everyone Was Staring At Me, And For Some Reason I Thought, I Know What I Need To Do! And I Just Started Sprinting From One End Of The Gym To The Other, And I Thought It Was Hilarious. But Nobody Else At That Age Really Did. It Was Genuinely Weird

People Call Me Fat, But I Don't Care. I Don't Want To Starve Myself Cause I Am Beautiful The Way I Am.

I Have The Street Smarts And Survival Skills Of, Like, A Poodle.

I'm Doing What I Love, And Then I Get Months And Months Of Rest. I Have A Lot Of Money For A 21-year-old. I Can't Stand It When Actors Complain.

There's This Freshness That Happens Within The First Few Takes Of The Actors Actually Listening To Each Other And Actually Really Reacting.

Everything That We Think Comes Across In Our Eyes. Our Eyes Really Are The Windows To Our Souls, And That's Why At Least I Can Tell When Somebody Doesn't Mean What They're Saying - If You Just Look At Them In The Eye.

I Grew Up In Kentucky, But I Did Not Grow Up Like That. I Had Heat, And I Didn't Have To Shoot My Dinner Or Anything.

I Think There Was The Studio Mentality For A Long Time That Women And Girls Can Relate To A Male Hero, But Boys And Men Can't Relate To A Female Hero.

A Powerful Woman Is Someone Who Exudes Confidence And Can Be Tough But Fair And Kind. And Also Knows How To Get What She Wants.

I'm Still Getting Used To Everything. It Still Makes Me A Little Emotional, Just To See How Quickly Everything Kind Of Changes - That It Changes So Fast.

I Think People Are Fascinated With Breasts That Bounce. They Are So Used To Seeing Fake Ones – People Are Confused. My Breasts Have A Life Of Their Own.

I Just Love Film Making; All Aspects Of It. I Love The Idea Of Writing But I Just Don't Feel Like I Could Really Do It. I Didn't Even Graduate From School.

It Was Really Impulsive. I Was Just Like, I'm Cutting It! And Then It Was Just All Gone.

Whenever I Really Want A Part, I'm Not Sure What To Do. How Do I Let The Director Know How Obsessed I Am And Willing To Do Anything For The Movie?

If A Woman Is Determined, She Will Get What She Wants Because We Are Very Determined Creatures.

I Get Photographers Hiding In My Bushes. We're Way Past Autographs. We're Into Being Stalked And Followed.

Be Strong. Don't Be A Follower. Always Do The Right Thing.

I Never Think It's Right To Chew Gum In Front Of Other People, But A Lot Of Times I'll Come In For A Meeting Chewing Gum And I'll Forget I'm Chewing It. Then You Don't Want To Swallow It Because It Stays In Your System For Seven Years Or Something, So I've Asked To Throw It Away. I've Started To Wonder If That's Why I Didn't Get Certain Movies.

More Women Have To Be In Charge Of Studios, So That They Can Greenlight Films With Women.

Knowledge Is Honestly Everything. It's Not Just Books And Staying Behind A Desk And Having A Diploma. There's Also Traveling And Knowledge About People, And What I Do And Scripts And Books.

I Was A Harry Potter Nerd. Pencils Were Wands. I Was Going To Hogwarts. The Whole Thing. You Don't Understand What A Nerd I Am. I Mean, If They Remade Them, I'd Still Go. Like, I've Seen All Of [the Originals], And That's Always Going To Be Harry. That's Always Going To Be Ron And Hermione. But If They Did It Again, I Absolutely Would Go, Because I Want To See It All Again.

I Never Play Characters That Are Like Me Because I'm A Boring Person. I Wouldn't Want To See Me In A Movie.

It Was Like Pulling Teeth Trying To Get Me To L.a. I Hated It For So Long, But Now I've Got This Great Life Here.

I Wanted To Be A Doctor When I Was Little, So I'm Okay With Blood And Guts.

"i Was Just Like A Pathological Liar When I Was A Kid. I Think I Just Wanted To One-up Somebody. Somebody Would Be Like, 'oh, God, My Legs Hurt.' I'd Be Like, 'your Legs Hurt? I'm Getting Mine Amputated Next Week.' And That's Actually How My Mother Found Out. She Came To School And Somebody Was Like, 'god, That's Such A Shame About Jennifer's Legs.' She Made Me Purge. I Had To Spill Out All Of My Lies. I Was Like, 'i Said That Dad Drove A Barge, And We Were Millionaires, And You Were Pregnant, I Had To Get My Legs Amputated, And I Spayed Cats And Dogs On The Weekends.' Now I Can't Lie.

I Started To Write An Apology, But I Don't Have Anything To Say I'm Sorry For.

I'm Excited To Be Seen As Sexy. But Not Slutty.

I Find A Certain Peace By Thinking Of Me In Public As Sort Of An Avatar Self. You Out There Can Have The Avatar Me.

It Is A Sexual Violation. It’s Disgusting. The Law Needs To Be Changed, And We Need To Change. That’s Why These Web Sites Are Responsible. Just The Fact That Somebody Can Be Sexually Exploited And Violated, And The First Thought That Crosses Somebody’s Mind Is To Make A Profit From It. It’s So Beyond Me. I Just Can’t Imagine Being That Detached From Humanity. I Can’t Imagine Being That Thoughtless And Careless And So Empty Inside.

Sometimes If A Script Is Based On A Book, That's What You Should Do: Represent The Book.

Sometimes I Feel Like A Vampire

I Am The Biggest "but Why?" Question Asker.

If I Were Just Your Average 23-year-old Girl, And I Called The Police To Say That There Were Strange Men Sleeping On My Lawn And Following Me To Starbucks, They Would Leap Into Action. But Because I Am A Famous Person, Well, Sorry, Ma'am, There's Nothing We Can Do. It Makes No Sense.

My Publicist Told Me That A Magazine Was Going To Say I Was Having A Thing With Either Sam Claflin Or Bradley Cooper, And I Got To Choose. And I Chose Bradley Cooper Because I Love Sam's Fiancée So Much. Sam Is So Sweet. So Sweet That He's Almost Not Hot Anymore.

It's Interesting That There's So Many Different Sides Of This: Women Get Frustrated That We Don't Get Paid Enough; And Then The Republicans Or The Ceos That Are Men Say, "well, It's Because Women Take Off Time For Maternity Leave."

I'm From Kentucky. I Used To Be Very Personable And Make Eye Contact And Smile At People, And Now All I Do Is Look Down. When I'm At Dinner And One Person After Another Keeps Interrupting To Take Pictures, It's Like, "i Can't Live Like This."

I'm The Youngest In A Family Where I Didn't Have To Take Responsibility For Much.

Taking Responsibility

Even As Far Back As When I Started Acting At 14, I Never Considered Failure.

I Love Photoshop More Than Anything In The World!

You Do Become More Aware Of Your Mortality As You Get Older. When You're Little, You Jump On Any Wild Horse. Then You Get A Little Bit Older And Realize How Fragile Life Is, And You're More Careful.

You Don't Go Your Whole Life Without Laughing. It's Just Life.

The Tabloid That Said That I Dressed Up As A Medieval, Like A Sexy Medieval Something And That Upset Me More Than The Dating Rumors That Have Been Circling Around That Were Fake. If Somebody Thinks I'm Going To Dress Sexy To A Costume Party, They Have Another Thing Coming.

This Isn't Like An Auction, Right? You Guys Aren't Going To Take It Away?

I Never Leave My House. Then I Don't Have To Put A Bra On, And I Don't Have To Change My Pants.

Once I'm Obsessed With Somebody, I'm Terrified Of Them Instantly. I'm Not Scared Of Them - I'm Scared Of Me And How I Will React. Like, For Instance, One Time Someone Was Introducing Me To Bill Maher, And I Saw Meryl Streep Walk Into The Room, And I Literally Put My Hand Right In Bill Maher's Face And Said, "not Now, Bill!", And I Just Stared At Meryl Streep... I Just Creepily Stared At Her.

Sometimes I Watch Films That I Can't Believe Got Made. Especially Because I Read Scripts That Are Truly Incredible, That Will Never Get Made. I Don't Know Who Is Behind Those Decisions. It's Like You Just Have To Doodle Something On A Page About The Underdog Who Finally Gets The Girl And The Film Gets Made.

I Want To Play A Character I've Never Been Before-a Crazy Serial Killer Like Charlize Theron In Monster. I'd Love To Have To Shave My Head.

I’m A Big Believer In Accepting Yourself The Way You Are And Not Really Worrying About It.

Accepting Yourself

I Really Love Acting. I Really Do. I Really Just Think Of Myself Like A Working Woman. And I Just Go From Set To Set And Work. You Have To Promote A Movie; You Have To Work. People Are Going To Have Opinions And It's Weirdly Very Easy To Kind Of Block Out The World Because You Have Your Own.

A Bad Word That I Can't Say That Starts With F.

We [need To] Stop Treating Each Other Like That, Stop Calling Each Other Fat And Stop With These Unrealistic Expectations For Women. It’s Disappointing That The Media Keeps It Alive And Fuels That Fire.
