There's material that I read that I fall in love with, and I always get a little bit sad because I know that, when I fall in love with it, almost everyone else is falling in love with that same piece. Getting the crack at doing that thing that, in my soul, I know I have to do it, that's the role.
I appreciate humor so much, but I'm actually not a funny girl.
We have this idea of perfection that is so unrealistic. We are our own worst enemy. No one is noticing that little scar.
I feel like I want to be known first and foremost for my work.
I don't know why, but in my career and in my life, I often find myself in situations where I am the only girl among boys.
I can celebrate food anytime. I love cheese. When I crave a certain food, I just eat it.
Is it easy to avoid paparazzi? It is, it really is.
Most actors want to sink their teeth into amazing material.
My elbows are double-jointed, so I can flip them inside out.
Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.
When you have confidence, that's what becomes attractive to other people and makes them want to work with you and spend time with you.
A great day in New York would be to wake up, get a cup of coffee and head up to Central Park for a nice walk. Then I'd go down to the East Village and stroll around. After that, maybe I'd go check out a museum or catch an indie film at the Angelika.
The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.
Generally for red carpet, I love to relax first. I love to work out. I love to eat well, drink tons of water beforehand, so on the night of the red carpet I feel good and ready to go. I also love to get a good body scrub.
