If you don't like something, talk about something else that's great and maybe someone else will discover it and think it's great too.

It's interesting to watch myself with an audience; I'm trying hard to learn from it.

My brother knows more about film sets than I do, because he works at New York Film Academy.

My friends and I started making films when I was still in kindergarten.

No, I wouldn't want the paparazzi ever following me in my life.

Normally I don't feel like having a belly full of pasta.

'The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is my favorite book. You feel manly reading it.

Well, I'd love to work with Kate Winslet - she's amazing.

Yes, I don't read books for entertainment.

You want everyone to succeed in your family.

And at NYU, I went to the Atlantic Theater Company, and they have two main points. One of them is to always be active in something instead of just feeling it. And the other is figuring out your character.

But I have a list of books that I want to read before I die, and whenever I get time to read something that isn't a script, I'll read something from that.

I never understood why anyone would do magazines. Like, why would someone put their face out there so much? It's because those people reading magazines will go see the movie, so you do it.

I think a lot of films do themselves a disfavor by putting in way too much information, and everyone knows what's gonna happen next, and no one can actually discover things as they go.

I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche.

I've only done one shoot where it's modeling clothes, not like me in my environment. And the stylist, literally, I had her stand behind the photographer and do poses.

Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.

What keeps you confident in a healthy way is knowing that everyone else around you is going to support you and teach you and you're going to learn from them. I just feel open to learning from people.

When I was 14 or 15, I was a really good volleyball player, so I thought, 'Well, maybe I'll just get a scholarship to an Ivy League school through volleyball.' Then I quit when I decided to focus on theater.

The tabloids create their own stories about people's lives that don't exist.
