I'm terrified of improv. Improv in a show or in front of an audience sounds terrifying.
The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is my favorite book. You feel manly reading it.
If you don't like something, talk about something else that's great and maybe someone else will discover it and think it's great too.
Everyone is always surprised by how old I am. They think I'm older, but it's always been that way. I'm the youngest of four - maybe you grow up quicker because you just watch the big people.
I would love to date a chef. I'd probably get really fat, but I don't care.
I never understood why anyone would do magazines. Like, why would someone put their face out there so much? It's because those people reading magazines will go see the movie, so you do it.
I would mimic what I saw in Grease and Guys and Dolls in front of my mom's mirror and I would practice voices and songs. When you put me alone in a room, that's what I would do.
I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche.
I get way too much happiness from good food.
I'm a very social person and I love being out in the world, and the feeling of not having that is the scariest thing to me.
I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to literature and theory. I wish I could have more of that in life, but I don't because I'm always reading scripts or things to prepare for movies when I'm reading.
I think every day you try to soak up as much as you can to learn and understand things better.
I just think my family is so normal, but no one wants to accept that. I find my family to be normal because there's an understanding of what every job entails. And it is a job. It's not this fantasy that Hollywood and movies are all glitter and stardust.
One time my mom tried to send me to my room for a time-out when I was 5 or 6, and I was like, "Fine! I like my room! All my imagination and toys are in my room!" I will never forget that. And she will never forget that.
