I learned from my parents the idea that, if you are devoted enough and you want to study something enough, you can really teach yourself anything.
Human beings are flawed and complicated and messy.
Any man worth his salt loves a feminist. Only men who are afraid of the feminine in themselves are afraid of women.
Modern life has gotten so strange, we all get 150 emails and text messages a day, and it's hard when things are moving that quickly to keep that sense of wonder about being alive.
I didn't understand how you could be an actor if you didn't also study philosophy and study political science, astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences.
Science fiction has a way of letting you talk about where we are in the world and letting you be a bit of a pop philosopher without being didactic.
Life is beautiful because it doesn't last.
Is there anything worse than being called the 'It Girl?' By definition, there will be a new one in two weeks.
I'd studied theater growing up and loved that, but didn't have many examples of artists around me.
Maybe the best definition of what a great partnership or great love is when people make each other grow in a better direction than they would have grown on their own.
I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.
One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.
Then in college, besides economics, I also majored in studio art and got involved in photography and making short films and acting. But I didn't know you could make a living that way.
I think sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical.
