You always fear when you're making a movie that has a moral to the story that people are going to reject the idea of being taught a lesson.

Unless it's a specific accent, or something about physicality you have to change, I am generally not such a conscious actor.

I think I am naturally attracted to things that are a little bit out of this world.

I once ate McDonald's three times in one day.

All the roles are for boys. The girls' roles are either small or all the same. There's just nothing interesting.

I was really bored and unhappy in school, and I used to act out and do horrible things.

My mom knows when something is real and something is not.

People are giving me more respect.

I don't really need a lot of help from a director.

I didn't use to think anything was worth keeping private. Now I do.

I've been to therapists my whole life.

I find the less attention I pay to food, the healthier I am.

I mean, I don't like anyone who likes themselves too much.

What you feel is important may not be what the director feels is important.

A director should cast a person who fits into their script.

I don't think I'm an outsider at all.

My roommate and my boyfriend, they both know I am compulsive and controlling.

When I'm acting in a film that I'm not producing, I stay to myself.

The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.

I take Wellbutrin because I'm afraid to go into stores. I'm afraid people are going to yell at me.

I'm always in bed by 11 or 12 and people laugh all the time - they want me to hang out until two in the morning, but n-n-no, I need my nine hours.

I eat crap.

As a kid, I was told to talk as much as possible.

I always think that I've embarrassed myself.

I'm immature.

I'm very insecure.

I'm incredibly naive.

I tend to fight for something that I believe in.

I stand up for other people, I'm very protective of people around me. If I feel like somebody is getting a bad rap or being unfairly picked on, I will stand up for them, absolutely.

I'm getting older now, so I should think about a family, but certainly not tomorrow.

I am a Christian. I haven't really talked about that before. It is something very private. But I do pray and my beliefs are very important to me.

For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room.

I think people who suffer from depression, unless it's post-traumatic, are probably going to struggle with it for their whole life.

I'm so glad I'm not 20 years old anymore. I was in a hurricane. I'm a lot calmer now. I don't cause destruction for myself and others everywhere I go.

As a teenager, my favourite rejection was, 'She looks too healthy,' which of course translates as, 'She needs to lose weight.'

I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.

I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces.

I don't think I like characters who are afraid and ashamed of who they are.

No matter how bad your day is, when you start talking about cookies or cakes or pies, or you bring someone cookies, there's just not bad news. The worst news is, 'Hey, there's sugar in that.'

I think a lot of people think being in the kitchen is being really serious, and especially that baking is very serious, very straitlaced. For me, it's about figuring out your voice, finding your personality, and getting in the kitchen to explore.

The thing I love about Vegas is there's something for any type of mood you're in and something for any kind of adventure you seek out.

Baking's meant to be done at home. It's meant to be a good time. It's not about, like, hoarding secrets. It's about sharing them.

Being a great baker and pastry chef requires the upmost open mind. I try every dessert that comes my way!

Good food is good food. It doesn't have to come with pretense.

When I get up early, I appreciate the quiet time to enjoy a coffee or water my plants.

Nike Air Zooms are what I usually run in. In the kitchen, I wear a beaten-up pair of Converse All-Stars in winter and Keds in summer.

A bright lipstick is a quick way to glam up my look.

The secret to having an epically beloved bakery is consistency.

Know who you are and stay true to it. Have a point of view, keep your head down when noise tries to drown out your inner voice, and whatever you do, keep pushing.

I chose a career in the kitchen because the thought of sitting and doing the same thing every day and being stationary was not something that I could get my head around.
