Quote

I've made some really good friends from movies, but a lot of the time it's a very isolated experience that lives and dies during the production.

I wouldnt call acting a job - its a pleasure. I love getting to play different characters, getting to play dress up, and getting paid for it.

There's a certain way people are used to seeing nude women, and that's in a submissive, coy pose, not looking at the camera. And in this poster, I'm looking dead into the camera with no expression on my face. I think it freaks a lot of people out.

I'm not at all funny. I can do dark comedy pretty well, but straight-up comedy, I don't know. I'm much darker. I've been like that since I was 3 years old

I am very slow to warm. I've always been sort of a loner. I didn't play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups

I pierced one nipple. Not both. Just one. She has it in the books and I wanted to get as many of the piercings as I could, and I spent so much time on this film naked, and I just had to be really comfortable with that right away . . . I'm gonna keep it for now. I don't want to have to repierce that should we do the other two films.

I've always had a respect for psychiatry as a profession.

When I was at college, my nickname was Keds, because I wore Keds. I guess it wasn't really a nickname, because nicknames are usually given to you by people who are your friends and who know you.

Just because the character listens to an iPod and wears black nail polish, she's goth. That was just a misused word

I looked on YouTube for sleep deprivation and there were videos of people experimenting with staying awake for a while. You saw all the different stages

I don't know how to play the guitar, so having to be on stage in front of people doing something you don't really know how to do, it's terrifying.

My sister started acting professionally when she was twelve, but I wanted to go to college first

Beaches and romantic comedies are not my thing. I'm a workaholic.

I don't know what I'm searching for. I haven't found it. I don't have a job, and I don't have anything lined up. I don't know what I'm looking for.

I've been trying to really live in the moment because I will never get this part of it back. As soon as the movie comes out, everyone will turn it into what they believe it is, so I've really been trying to appreciate every minute of now. Because I know what's coming

I was a pretty dark person to begin with. I have always been more drawn to darkness
