Kurt says it's an adult family movie, that's what he calls it, ... He says that adults will really enjoy it and kids will really enjoy it at the same time and that all ages can see it, and I think all ages will get a different message from it, and I'm really proud of it.
I think every little girl wants a pony, ... So, it's exciting. For me, if I didn't have a horse, I'd want to go and see another little girl who had a horse.
I think it's just when you're playing the character, just kind of into your character, you're kind of thinking and feeling what she's thinking and feeling at the time, ... So if she's doing that, you're doing that.
I would love to have a career like the one she's had, from child actress to just actress. And she directs. And everybody knows how smart she is.
You just forget it's there, ... Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story.
To work with Robert De Niro was like a dream come true. He' s such a nice person to be around, and I learned something from him everyday.
We became a vegetarian. But that didn't last very long, because, um, I don't like vegetables. Or salad, nothing like that!
When I was in, like, 'I Am Sam,' I was, like, 'I get money? Whatever.'
I feel so bad for all those people. It's a terrible time for them.
Even making dark movies ? when the scenes are over, I'm done. I don't stay in character or take it home. I go in and out of character and then have fun on the set.
Every time she does a movie, I'm on another one. So we never really talk about work.
At the Empire State Building, I cried in line for 45 minutes because I didn't want to go up. I pulled my visor down, but I loved it once I was up there. I've never been up that high before, so I didn't really know what to expect. And then when I got up there, the view was spectacular. It was really fun.
We really didn't talk about it. We did all kinds of things together, but we didn't talk about acting or career advice. We just became best friends.
My grandmother was German. She didn't teach any of her children German. She really wanted them to be American. And now, she's since passed away, I get so frustrated sometimes. I'm like, "Oh, Oma, why didn't you teach your kids German?" My dad would have spoken German to me from birth, and I would have spoken German.
