I did my first nude scene in Mildred Pierce, and that was absolutely terrifying, but it was for an important part of the film and for a reason, and it's incredibly powerful. It's not gratuitous. I think the stuff they show on MTV is so much worse.

This film [ Into the Forest], it was special for that reason, because as an actress, you usually don't get to work with other actresses because you are usually up for the same roles, and you don't get to hang out that much.

I mentioned Ellen Page on Twitter in a tweet. It was like, I met Ellen Page last night and she's so beautiful and lovely! So then we started talking.

We all just kinda did everything we thought we were supposed to do and girls dated the guys they were supposed to and did things with the guys they were supposed to.

I definitely think there is a shift happening right now in terms of visibility, but there's still a choice you make as a public figure on what to do or how to present your sexuality.

The secret lives of politicians are always shady. People need to accept the fact that their leaders aren't perfect. No one is.

When people were very concerned about the violence against women, I encouraged people to stick with it because it was going somewhere and there was a reason why. It's all a commentary on gender roles and women and having to be the damsel or to stay on the ranch or to stay at home.

We trusted the writers and showrunners [in Westworlds] so much because they're so brilliant and the writing's so incredible. It really was like playing Marco Polo, where you just kind of followed their voice and they would lead you to water.

I try to stay out of the public eye as much as possible because I want people to be able to watch my films and not be distracted.
Evan Rachel Wood
Image
I just couldn't believe that it [Into the Forest script] had fallen into my lap, because I felt so incredibly connected to my character, and I understood her, and I really...I haven't had that feeling about a script since I had read Thirteen or The Wrestler when I was just like, No one else can do this. I just feel so passionate about it.

I was a mess when the movie [Into the Forest] ended and I had to say goodbye. It was one of the hardest endings.
Evan Rachel Wood
Image
I also loved that there [in Into the Forest] was a beautiful balance to it, where they were strong and survivors and doing things in the film that we normally only see men do, but they were still human and vulnerable, and they still broke and had moments of weakness. That's something that we don't often get to see in these films, either.

The most complicated character I have ever played - she has many, many, many layers that even I'm not fully aware of.
Evan Rachel Wood
Image
I am trying to be a good person. I am trying to be myself, and if nobody likes me for me, that is their problem.
Evan Rachel Wood
Image
I can't say I'm one way or the other because I've honestly fallen in love with a man and I've honestly fallen in love with a woman. I don't know how you label that, it's just how it is.
Evan Rachel Wood
Image
I get that some people just want to do work and keep their lives private. I think for me, it just felt like I needed to be open about who I am. It just felt like the right thing for me to do.

If I'm going to do anything extreme, I want it to have consequences.

There was something so cool about being able to carry this film [Into the Forest] together [with Ellen Page] and to play off of each other. It was like having the most worthy tennis opponent.
Evan Rachel Wood
Image
It was really cool to get to know her as a person and artist. And getting to act with her after a year of knowing her and be like, Oh my god! There's a whole 'nother thing here! It was really cool to be her friend and then see Ellen Page on the set.

I've always had a real fascination with Alice in Wonderland and really related to it in some way. And since I was little, people always nicknamed me Alice, even total strangers. I do know I'm always in Wonderland. And I'm definitely just as curious. I don't mind being amongst the mad people, I enjoy it.
