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.
I'm the first one who sees every romantic comedy in theaters.
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.
If you can't really have a conversation with someone candidly about it it's something that you'll always have something to learn from when it comes to taking a literature class.
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.
And I think in theater, people don't really focus on the media unless there's a huge superstar doing a play or something.
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 think a lot of films do themselves a disfavor by putting in way too much information, and everyone knows what's gonna happen next, and no one can actually discover things as they go.
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 never wanted anyone to think that I would use my family name to get me anywhere.
What keeps you confident in a healthy way is knowing that everyone else around you is going to support you and teach you and you're going to learn from them. I just feel open to learning from people.
