When we're growing up there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be.

I love playing roles that are physical, absolutely love. Whether it's just that kind of basic level of physicality or whether it's stunts.

I think there's a tremendous amount of guilt that goes on between mothers and daughters, no matter how good or bad their relationships are.

When I feel strongly about something, I'm not so quiet.

I'm actually just playing honest, whole young women.

I always take the time to eat well and eat locally because it's common sense.

I hate how box-office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don't see a box-office failure blamed on men.

I love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.

I didn't really play dress up when I was a kid, and I'm really T-shirt and jeans-y.

There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
