They kept saying 'It's sushi-grade!' And I'm like... 'Put some soy sauce on this. Get me some rice. And cook it. And then get me out of here.

There is my favorite quote that I ever heard from her [Lori Petty],... 'Things can happen to you, but they don't have to happen to your soul.'

I'm doing what I love, and then I get months and months of rest. I have a lot of money for a 21-year-old. I can't stand it when actors complain.

There are directors that I want to work with and that I admire. You can love a script, but if it doesn't have a good director, it won't be that.

I know certain roles are important to me. I know that I really want to play them. I know I can do a good job. But I can never put into words why.

Yeah, when you're making a film, the book is a good tool, but once you have the script and you're making a movie, you have to let go of the book.

Whenever I really want a part, I'm not sure what to do. How do I let the director know how obsessed I am and willing to do anything for the movie?

I'm always terrified before every movie because I haven't found her [the character], and I don't get it. [Without acting, I'd have] become a nurse.

You do become more aware of your mortality as you get older. When you're little, you jump on any wild horse. Then you get a little bit older and realize how fragile life is, and you're more careful.

I spent my first paycheck on a vintage Mercedes.

Oh, it's not really gambling when you never lose.

I always say don't make plans, make options.

I don't get sent anything strange like underwear. I get sent cookies.

I don't know what it means to be a sex symbol. When I look myself on a magazine cover I don't see it as me, but as someone painted, fluffed, puffed and done up.

Look I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated.

It's a really nice thing to have so many fans and people that really care.

I think there are opportunities for women in comedies - how zany is up to them.

It's so easy to be boxed into one part and one part only.

Do I have my days when I've thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely.

I was just always the girl that people would come and talk to about their problems, and I still am.

People who do comedy are always underrated because they make it look so easy.

I was always reading those beauty magazines and wanting to become this unattainable thing.

I don't think I got thin. I think I got healthy.
