At a certain point in one's career, it's really wonderful when your child turns around and goes, 'Oh my God, Mommy, you have to be in that film. My friends are going to die.'

The drama nerd comes out in me when I'm in a theater.

When you start acting as a child, you grow up ahead of your movies.

I'd been very certain about not wanting to do the acting thing because of my father. I thought I'd always have the father-son thing of 'He got you the part.'

Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young, like six or seven years old.

It's nice to have my mother as someone I can talk to about acting. My dad's a director, so when he comes to watch me on set, he think it's his set. He's always telling a production assistant, 'Can you get me five donuts?'

In my sort of young, idealistic mind, I was just like, 'Well, it's either theater or film for me, and that will be that!'

I'm a huge movie nerd.

Hopefully, by the second or the third film, who my father is won't be a story anyone's interested in. They'll either like the films or they won't, and if they don't like them, I won't be making them any more.

My parents are not theatrical people, but my dad took me to the theater.
