I don't like to play characters that are too perfect.
Tags: Characters, PerfectI don't want to be in magazines everyday, because I don't want people to get used to one thing.
Tags: Everyday, Magazines, UsedI don't want to become a brand and I certainly don't want to have a persona.
Tags: Become, Brand, PersonaI have belly fat like everybody else, and I don't want to be airbrushed on the cover of a magazine.
Tags: Else, Everybody, FatI have jeans with holes in them and I have nice jeans. I have casual and I have dressy jeans. I've got all kinds.
Tags: Jeans, Kinds, NiceI have only really gotten by with playing versions of myself as most young actors do.
Tags: Gotten, Playing, YoungI just don't like my face.
Tags: FaceI just like to do covers, every once in a while. If someone pays me to go into the studio, I'll do it.
Tags: Once, Someone, WhileI never saw myself going to college. Even when I was looking at different schools, I was like, this really isn't right.
Tags: College, Looking, SchoolsI sacrificed six years in L.A. I did my job out here. I made contacts and did the work I had to do.

I went to four different proms in high school. I was addicted to the whole ballroom thing.
Tags: High, School, WholeI would love to live in Paris and speak French. That would make me feel glamorous!
Tags: Love, Paris, SpeakI'm good with getting older because I feel like, one day, I know I will love myself.
Tags: Getting, Good, LoveI'm pretty sure I would never do a full frontal in a movie - for personal reasons, I wouldn't really want to show that.
Tags: Personal, Pretty, ShowMarriage, at this point in my life? I'm not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I'm 35 or 40.
Tags: Life, Marriage, PointNo matter what's happening in my life, I can always get lost in the romances of my characters.
Tags: Life, Lost, MatterPeople are made up of flaws.
Tags: FlawsThere are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script.
Tags: Actor, Director, GoodWhen I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it. But then, of course, that didn't work out.
Tags: Obsessed, Singing, WorkWhen you start using test audiences, it becomes more scientific than it is about the work itself, and that's boring.
Tags: Boring, Start, WorkYou learn very quickly what people are so enamored with, and it's not necessarily me.
Tags: Enamored, Learn, QuicklyYou've just got to be comfortable with yourself.
Tags: YourselfHollywood is just like high school: The popular people love the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice. Or they are nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.
Tags: Love, Nice, SchoolI have a dirty mouth sometimes, and I'm very liberal, and that doesn't always go down well in the film industry - especially when you've got to appeal to mums and daughters.
Tags: Film, Liberal, SometimesI have realized that I hate going to the premieres of the movies that I'm in. Because I feel this tension after the movie is over that everyone feels obligated to say something nice to you. It's so unnatural and uncomfortable.
Tags: Hate, Movies, NiceI have written some songs, but I would really call what I've done poetry at the end of the day, because I'll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won't touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don't have time, because I'd rather be doing other things, like knitting.
Tags: End, Poetry, TimeI'm not really into clubbing, I like to go to parties after events, and those do end up at clubs or bars. But in my free time I go grocery shopping or to the gym, or I talk on the phone.
Tags: After, End, TimeA film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
Tags: Team, Treat, WorkHollywood is just like high school. The popular people only like the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice - or they're nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.
Tags: High, Nice, SchoolI did theatre when I was nine, I think. Nine and ten, and that was just the beginning of my whole involvement in acting, my whole interest. I don't really remember it that well. But it was really fun. I mean, it was exciting just to be on stage in front of an audience. It gives you a different kind of rush.
Tags: Fun, Mean, RememberI mean, why am I considered an 'it girl?' Because I'm in a lot of movies right now or am on the covers of magazines? I just hope there is something solid behind that. Because here's the thing with 'it girl' status. It's great and amazing that anybody is saying that at all. But how long does that last?
Tags: Great, Hope, MoviesI remember I had a fight with my friend when I touched a boy for the first time and I didn't tell her. She got mad with me, not because I didn't tell her but because I'd done it in the first place.
Tags: Fight, Friend, TimeI went to art school when I was little. I took ballet lessons. I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn't know where to put it. When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it.
Tags: Art, Put, SchoolI've auditioned for roles that involved voice, but I don't like it. I feel like, I can't do this in front of you. It seems so separate - I don't share it with a lot of people. And I'm not into public performances.
Tags: Public, Seems, VoiceIntimacy is a wonderful thing. It's frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn't. Exploring your sexuality is important when you're growing up.
Tags: Thought, Wonderful, WrongOh yeah, I think about kids all the time. I feel like the next person I commit to, that's going to be the guy who I'm going to have kids with. That's in my crazy female brain. So that's why I'm like, 'I can't commit.'
Tags: Brain, Crazy, TimeSinging was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole singing thing. But when I grew up in Pennsylvania I went to voice lessons once a week.
Tags: After, Life, LoveWell, if you're suspecting your lover is having an affair, it's definitely devastating. It's really a terrible, terrible feeling because you have no control.
Tags: Control, Feeling, TerribleWell, it's very easy for me to gain weight, but even though I tried not eating for a week when I was really young, I couldn't do it any longer because I liked my food too much.
Tags: Easy, Food, YoungSinging is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel. When you hear a song and you're acting it's incredible. But when you're singing a song and you're acting it's even more incredible.
Tags: Music, Sometimes, SoulIt's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.
Tags: Famous, Job, LifeIt's sad, actually, because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.
Tags: Actually, Age, SadIt was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.
Tags: Big, Fake, SomebodyMaking people laugh is magic. I feel like if you have humility, then you can do anything in comedy.
Tags: Humility, Laugh, MakingWe all get stuck. We all lose ourselves a little bit in a fantasy or in our jobs and forget how we feel about other things. It's really important to check yourself, to spend some time alone.
Tags: Alone, Time, YourselfIt changes you a little bit every time you either break someone's heart or get your heart broken.
Tags: Heart, Someone, TimeFor the first time in my life I'm really happy to be unattached because I realise there is so much responsibility to having a partner.
Tags: Happy, Life, TimeYou don't have to listen to those mean girls. They're just there to make you upset and make you feel bad about yourself. And you know, inside, they feel bad about themselves too. But they don't wanna admit it to anybody.
Tags: Bad, Mean, YourselfMy dad, he is such a soft man. Even if he has these opinions about my boyfriends, he will be the sweetest guy. He will make you feel like you're fascinating and awesome, even if he doesn't like you that much.
Tags: Awesome, Dad, OpinionsSinging is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel.
Tags: Music, Sometimes, SoulBeing professional is just really clearly the way to go and helps you on the road to longevity.
Tags: Clearly, Longevity, RoadI always wanted to make people feel something.
Tags: WantedI guess I would ideally want to be 20 physically, but 40 mentally.
Tags: Guess, Mentally, PhysicallyThe funny thing is, the girls that I'm always up against for roles are pretty nice and cool, like Emma Watson. She's awesome.
Tags: Cool, Funny, NiceWhen you're playing somebody who's going through a lot - frustration and hardship - you're just purging all your emotions, and it feels really good to do that.
