Singing Was My First Love And I Never Even Considered It After I Started Acting, But Now I'm Bringing It Back Into My Life. I Trained From The Ages Of 11 To 17.

Maybe I Should Drive A Hybrid. I Do Have A Shirt That Says, 'go Green.'

People Are Made Up Of Flaws.

I Went To Art School When I Was Little. I Took Ballet Lessons. I Played A Little Kick Ball. I Was Sort Of Into Everything Because I Had Too Much Energy And I Didn't Know Where To Put It. When I Was A Preteen, I Got Into Singing, And Became Really Obsessed With It.

Singing Is A Way Of Releasing An Emotion That You Sometimes Can't Portray When You're Acting. And Music Moves Your Soul, So Music Is The Source Of The Most Intense Emotions You Can Feel. When You Hear A Song And You're Acting It's Incredible. But When You're Singing A Song And You're Acting It's Even More Incredible.

I Have Only Really Gotten By With Playing Versions Of Myself As Most Young Actors Do.

I Also Just Have No Confidence. And You Know What? I Don’t Have Time, Because I’d Rather Be Doing Other Things, Like Knitting.

The Main Thing You Can Change Is How You Perceive Yourself. Stop Looking In The Mirror And Realize That You're Living For Yourself, Not Other People ...

I Don't Want Dirty Old Men Looking At Me In My Underwear.

I Have Jeans With Holes In Them And I Have Nice Jeans. I Have Casual And I Have Dressy Jeans. I've Got All Kinds.

Life Experience Is Priceless.

Life Experience

I Did Theatre When I Was Nine, I Think. Nine And Ten, And That Was Just The Beginning Of My Whole Involvement In Acting, My Whole Interest. I Don't Really Remember It That Well. But It Was Really Fun. I Mean, It Was Exciting Just To Be On Stage In Front Of An Audience. It Gives You A Different Kind Of Rush.

If You Can't Pronounce A Word Correctly, Just Don't Use It.

I Was Naturally Skinny And Had Braces, So I Wasn't A Cute Model.

There Are A Lot Of Scripts That You Can Like, But Rarely Are There Directors Attached When You're In Development With Something And That's Stressful.

The Strong Smells I Remember Are All Floral. There's Nothing Like A Farm Rose To Take You Back To The Mountains And The Meadows. I'm A Mountain Girl, A Meadow Girl, So I Feel Very Close To That.

A Film Set Is Really Delicate And People Treat You Very Very Well If You're An Actor Because They Want You To Be As Comfortable As Possible For You To Do Your Work, But It Really Is Just One In A Team Of Many And Usually 150 People.

When You Value Your Family Over Anything Else You're Always Going In The Right Direction.

I've Auditioned For Roles That Involved Voice, But I Don't Like It. I Feel Like, I Can't Do This In Front Of You. It Seems So Separate - I Don't Share It With A Lot Of People. And I'm Not Into Public Performances.

If You're From Africa, Why Are You White?

Intimacy Is A Wonderful Thing. It's Frustrating That Growing Up I Thought It Was Wrong. It Isn't. Exploring Your Sexuality Is Important When You're Growing Up.

I Think I'm Past The Age Of Getting Lost.

I'm Always Suspicious Of People, Especially Being In A Weird Realm Of People Kind Of Knowing Me... And Not Knowing What People's Motives Might Be.

There Are Definitely Reasons To Do Certain Things, But I Like To Stick To Good Director, Good Actor, Good Script.

I Just Like To Do Covers, Every Once In A While. If Someone Pays Me To Go Into The Studio, I'll Do It.

I Don't Want To Become A Brand And I Certainly Don't Want To Have A Persona.

I Actually Grew Up Thinking That Sex Was Absolutely Terrifying And That It Would Kill You.

I Happen To Be Really A Romantic.

Actors Are Separated All The Time.

It's Sad, Actually, Because My Anxiety Keeps Me From Enjoying Things As Much As I Should At This Age.

I Sacrificed Six Years In L.a. I Did My Job Out Here. I Made Contacts And Did The Work I Had To Do.

I Don't Dye My Hair And I Can Go Without Makeup.

I Went To Art School When I Was Little.

I Stay Out Of The Sun, And If I'm In The Sun, I'm Wearing Spf. I Protect My Skin As Much As I Can; I Learned That A Long Time Ago. I Also Exercise Every Day And I Get The Endorphins Going. It's Important Not Only For My Physical Self But Also For My Mental Self And My Emotional Self. I'm Healthy, I Eat Well Most Of The Time, I Take Care Of Myself And I Drink A Lot Of Water. But I Also Enjoy Myself. Taking Care Of Yourself Doesn't Have To Be Painful, It's About Finding The Right Balance, I Think.

I'm Just More Attracted To Actors. I Like Their Choice To Be Artists - That's Ballsy. And A Guy Who Has Such Access To His Emotional Life Is Sexy. Or Maybe Because Lots Of The Actors I Know Are So Broken. I Don't Think I'm Compatible With Anybody I've Dated. Maybe I'm So Attracted To Actors Because I'm Not Ready For The 'settled Down' Thing Yet.

I Think The Era Of The Diva Actress Is Coming To An End.

I'm Too Measured And Controlling - About Everything. That's Why I Take Lexapro. It's For Ocd. I Don't Feel Like I'm Struggling With It. I Think Ocd Is A Part Of Me That Protects Me. It's Also The Part Of Me That I Use In My Job, In A Positive Way.

I Am Most Scared Of Being Bored

I'm Never Going To Be With A Guy That Can't Deal With My Friendship With Him.

I'm Most Comfortable In My Birthday Suit.

I'm Inspired By The Fragrance Because It Is Feminine And Elegant But Not Too Sophisticated. There's Something Very Simple At The Bottom Of It But It Remains Mysterious, It's Got Different Facets. Just Like The Roles That I Love To Play, It Conveys Differing Degrees Of Intensity, Lightness And Depth... I Like To Be Spontaneous And This Fragrance Is Very Spontaneous Too.

It Was A Big Deal To Me To Play Characters And Feel Things And Connect To Somebody In A Fake World.

I Pay A Lot Attention To What I Eat, But I Don't Have Any Specific Slimming Method. I Eat Organic Food, A Lot Of Fish, No Meat, And I Force Myself To Limit Sugar, Even If I Like It A Lot. It Takes A Lot Of Effort! I Have To Practice Sport A Lot Because I Love Cakes. I've Danced For A Long Time. I Learned The Discipline, How To Like Doing Efforts, Endurance. Today, I Practice A Physical Activity At Least Once A Day. I Run Or I Take A Hike. Sport Is For Me As Much Physical As Mental.

Being Professional Is Just Really Clearly The Way To Go And Helps You On The Road To Longevity.

My Focus Is To Not Focus Too Much On One Genre.

I'm Good With Getting Older, Because I Feel Like One Day, I Know I Will Love Myself. I Can't Imagine Staying At One Age. Ideally, I'd Want To Be 20 Physically But 40 Mentally.

I Have To Feel Good On The Inside To Look Glamorous.

I Think It's Probably A Bad Idea For Young Boys To See How They're Being Depicted In Men's Fantasies. It Could Get Very Dark. You Could Learn How To Do Things Wrong.

We All Get Stuck. We All Lose Ourselves A Little Bit In A Fantasy Or In Our Jobs And Forget How We Feel About Other Things. It's Really Important To Check Yourself, To Spend Some Time Alone.

You Don't Have To Listen To Those Mean Girls. They're Just There To Make You Upset And Make You Feel Bad About Yourself. And You Know, Inside, They Feel Bad About Themselves Too. But They Don't Wanna Admit It To Anybody.

Oh Yeah, I Think About Kids All The Time. I Feel Like The Next Person I Commit To, That's Going To Be The Guy Who I'm Going To Have Kids With. That's In My Crazy Female Brain. So That's Why I'm Like, 'i Can't Commit.'

It's Nice To Finally Be Thought Of As Sexy. I'm Very Disconnected From The Sensual Side Of Me, I Know It's In Me, But It Doesn't Really Reveal Itself Very Often In My Personal Life, Which I Do Find Problematic.

Hollywood Is Just Like High School. The Popular People Only Like The Other Popular People. And The Thing Is, Some People Aren't Nice - Or They're Nice, But Only To Your Face, Not Elsewhere.

Nudity Doesn't Scare Me At All; The Only Thing About It Is The Perception By The Audience.

A Smoky Eye And Nice Hair Are Not Going To Make My Night Any Easier.

Taylor Swift Is Pretty Hip...she Seems Pretty Honest. I Think That’s Hip. She’s Promoting Knowing Yourself, And That’s The Best Idol.

I Just Did A Five-day Raw-food Diet, But I'll Never Do That Again. It's Really Hard! I'd Wake Up In The Morning Feeling Great And Go To Bed Feeling Miserable, Because Dinner Would Be Cucumbers, Kale, And Dressing. I Mean, At The End Of The Day, If You Can't Have A Girl Scout Cookie And A Piece Of Cheese, What Is Life All About?

I Didn't Like Fairy Tales When I Was Younger. I Found A Lot Of Fairy Tales Scary. They Really Didn't Sit Well With Me.

For The First Time In My Life I'm Really Happy To Be Unattached Because I Realise There Is So Much Responsibility To Having A Partner.

I Practice Yoga Every Day And When My Schedule Allows Me To Have Time, I Go Get A Massage. And I'm Fond Of Acupuncture. I Like Having A Clean Skin And Taking Care Of My Hair. My Secret Is To Avoid Drying My Hair With The Hairdryer And Also Avoiding Blow-dries When It's Not Necessary. In Order To Feel Myself, I Need To Look The Most Natural As I Can.

Anxiety, It Just Stops Your Life.

I'm A Big Fan Of Moustaches. I Think It's Because - And This Is Not Freudian Innuendo At All - My Father Has A Moustache.

I Mean, Why Am I Considered An 'it Girl?' Because I'm In A Lot Of Movies Right Now Or Am On The Covers Of Magazines? I Just Hope There Is Something Solid Behind That. Because Here's The Thing With 'it Girl' Status. It's Great And Amazing That Anybody Is Saying That At All. But How Long Does That Last?

The Risk For Me Has To Do With The Nudity Aspects. I'm An American Actress In Mainstream Movies, And I Would Like To Always Be Able To Do Them. For Some Reason, Nudity Is Perceived Differently Here Than It Is Elsewhere, And I Didn't Want To Lose Any American Audience That I Was Building.

It's Really Easy To Avoid The Tabloids. You Just Live Your Life And Don't Hang Out With Famous People Who Are In The Tabloids. Don't Do Anything Controversial And Be A Normal Person. Have Friends. And Get A Job And Keep Working.

I'm Pretty Sure I Would Never Do A Full Frontal In A Movie - For Personal Reasons, I Wouldn't Really Want To Show That.

I Love My Apartment In New York.

It’s Very Easy For Me To Gain Weight. Even Though I Tried Not Eating For A Week When I Was Really Young, I Couldn’t Do It Any Longer Because I Liked My Food Too Much.
