I never worked with horses before, so that was a new challenge, and working with Kurt was just amazing. I couldn't wait.
The barn really smelled like a barn with all the hay.
I never skimp on TV. I watch an embarrassing amount of TV shows. I don't even know how I do it.
You can't lose yourself.
Because I'm a pale person, I take care of my skin religiously.
Every time she does a movie, I'm on another one. So we never really talk about work.
I think that we have two things going on in the world right now. We have one sort of vibe that's love who you are, be yourself, love your flaws, embrace your body, embrace your inner beauty, all of that. And then we have another very looks-based thing happening at the same time, you know?
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.
I had never been around horses at all. That's why I wanted to do it.
She just goes and does her movies, ... She just finished one with Brad Pitt. She didn't actually get to meet him. She wasn't in any scenes with him. But she was in the same movie.
I have traveled to a lot of places, and you look at another young person who lives under very different circumstances than you but has the same dreams or the same interests or might be better at what I do than what I do. But I was born in a different place, and she was born in a different place. Just for that alone, you're kind of inherently given opportunity. That's something that I'm very grateful for, but I'm also very aware of.
That's just somebody else's opinion. I don't think that's really for me to worry about.
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.
When I was in, like, 'I Am Sam,' I was, like, 'I get money? Whatever.'
