Quentin Tarantino assistant called me and said: I have good news and bad news. The good news is you got the part, the bad news is you have to do it. I was like: Oh Jesus, when am I supposed to do this? I was prepping Hostel.

I want an iPhone 5, someone said something nasty on twitter, or my boyfriend isn't texting me back, like whatever the thing is that seems so major in your life, when a real disaster hits you suddenly strips it all away and you see what's really important and who you really are.

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.
