There's this common perception that having a famous last name is all you need. A surname may get you a meeting, but if there's no talent you won't get the part.

More quotes by Lily Collins
How women dressed every single day back in those days is seen as kind of incredible - it must have taken so much time. But there's something so romantic about that because it's so different to how we dress. That aesthetic is so appealing, it's not what we're used to nowadays.
Lily Collins
Definitely with the fit of clothing - how it really depends on mere centimeters and millimeters of difference in terms of how lengths can make such a big impact on your shape. I learned how to incorporate a cute peter pan collar on a dress and not make it look juvenile.
Lily Collins
I was never afraid of going after what I wanted, and making that known, and being vocal about it.
Lily Collins
Starting at 16 years old I was in boardrooms of older executives pitching talk shows. I wanted to be the youngest talk show host for a really long time.
Lily Collins
I love to test boundaries.
Lily Collins
To look into that persons eyes and find yourself so completely lost in another world, a world full of absolute comfort and happiness.
Lily Collins
To play someone I loved in my favourite fairytale as a kid is a total honour.
Lily Collins
I’m a big fan of the whip... That snake whip was awesome!
Lily Collins
I like to be comfortable but I also like to look put together all the time.

I think it's important to relate to one another about issues that you're having, because the second you open up and someone else says, 'Oh, me too. I feel the same way,' then all of a sudden, you feel more at peace with yourself and you can feel more confident with who you are.
Lily Collins
I love baking, it's the most calming thing for me. It's therapeutic, it makes the house smell good, and I get to take the goods to my friends. I do it for other people.
Lily Collins
When you trust and have elevated personnel in each department then the sky really is the limit.
Lily Collins
I'm drawn to roles that have real substance, that aren't just the victim or the teenage girl or the girlfriend.
Lily Collins
The idea that I get to travel and do what I love and call it a job is just a blessing.
Lily Collins
It used to bother me - having bigger, fuller brows. I even plucked them once so I'd fit in, but I hated them and couldn't wait for them to grow back. Now I embrace them. I realized the quirky things that make you different are what make you beautiful.
Lily Collins
Snow White has always been one of my favorite fairy tales growing up. To be able to say, I'm going to be Snow White - it's crazy. It's an honor.
Lily Collins
No matter what, I need to maintain my sense of self and always be true to who I am.
Lily Collins
I never go with something in mind. I like having an array of generations in my outfits!
Lily Collins
I’m a huge fan of the books myself, so to know that I got to play Clary – who’s a literary heroine to me – was a huge honour.
Lily Collins
I think the big thing is the fairy tale. It's taking old folk fairy tales and retelling them in modern day. I think it's just taking you out of everyday life, and everyone loves a good fairy tale.
