Quotations

* * *

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it's strange.

* * *

I'm not a 'sexy' 'beautiful' woman. It takes a lot of work to make me look like a girl.

* * *

I love the beach, and I love sunshine.

* * *

I think you accidentally learn things in high school that turn out to be life lessons when you are able to step back a bit and study them in more depth.

* * *

I try to live with the idea that karma is a very real thing. So I put out what I want to get back.

* * *

Sarcasm doesn't translate in print at all.

* * *

I'm not a big family person. I'm more of a loner.

* * *

I haven't gone completely insane, but it might happen soon.

* * *

When you think about it, we actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross.

* * *

As soon as you tell me to do one thing, I do the opposite. As soon as someone tells me not to get any more tattoos, I have this intense fire burning inside me to cover myself with them. I don't care if it's self-destructive. I just have that need to rebel.

* * *

People compare me to Angelina Jolie, and she's so serious and stoic. I'm the opposite.

* * *

I hate receiving compliments; I hate being told I'm talented or people think I'm going to be a movie star. I always feel that it's forced and fake.

* * *

My main weakness is nerves.

* * *

I could go days, weeks, without talking to another human being.

* * *

Self-loathing doesn't keep me from being happy. But that doesn't mean I don't struggle.

* * *

I don't need someone else's power. I'm obtaining my own.

* * *

I'm really insecure about everything.

* * *

I feel people think I'm almost like a robot - like an android... I just don't really get portrayed as someone who has feelings or who is sympathetic... like a self-absorbed ice queen.

* * *

I've learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they're going to tear you down.

* * *

I started drawing when I was about 2, mostly pictures of my mother and my sister. When I got into school, instead of taking the notes that I should have been taking, I was drawing in all of my notebooks. It was an artwork thing for me at first.

* * *

I want people to know me through the movies I do. I want to be judged on that. If you start becoming famous for your personal life, that's when your career goes away.

* * *

I'm one of those people who fiercely guards their privacy, so I hate doing interviews.

* * *

Some girls love to go to the airport and have 50 paparazzi on them. I go to the airport and have a mental breakdown.

* * *

And you know, the people who hate kids and don't want kids always end up having 50 of them.

* * *

It's an immense amount of pressure, celebrity itself.

* * *

My dad used to hunt ducks, and my mom would put them in the pot. We lived really modestly. We had very little money.

* * *

There's a million people I could name who are more deserving of the parts that I get and the life that I'm living.

* * *

Women tear each other apart.

* * *

You never know when someone is videotaping you or trying to capture your image. I see how it makes some people crazy.
