Quotations

* * *

Most actresses are always running late - I'm no exception.

* * *

In real life, I'm so brutally honest that it almost works against me sometimes.

* * *

I always feel like everything I shoot is a student project, and nobody else knows about it. I forget, in the moment, that other people will see it.

* * *

Good skin is the best foundation for your makeup.

* * *

I'm not a big eye makeup girl unless there's a professional doing it - otherwise I look like I have two black eyes!

* * *

Between Twitter and Facebook and how close you can be with your fans and how close they can be to you these days is, I think, quite miraculous. It's like getting a greeting card every single day.

* * *

You get the information, and it's not your job to judge it or not judge it. You adapt, and you do it. That's what we do as actors. We're just as surprised as the viewers, sometimes.

* * *

One of my favorite movies is 'Back to the Future'.

* * *

As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.

* * *

I just always wanted to sit in a casting session and see all of the train wrecks that come in.
