Part of the challenge of being a girl living in the 21st Century, looking back, the danger is to not judge your character by your own standards.

Well, I have a sister that I'm very close with, and that relationship is probably the most intense relationship of my life to date, probably of my life, period.

I would not wear any clothes that had a brand name on them, and I only read books that were canonical.

I think, a lot of times, directors assume that whatever they get from you the first time, whether it be at an audition or on set, is all that you can bring.

I've definitely gotten to work with female directors, and I feel lucky because of that. I just feel like more voices should be represented.

It's fun for me to be with someone who loves reading as much as I do, because he'll give me things to read that I wouldn't normally seek out, and I think vice versa.

What I did have was an incredible amount of belief in myself.

I just don't care that much about how famous I am. I care a lot about our world, and whether our planet will survive. It seems really low-stakes how many Twitter followers I have, in the grand scheme of things. In 80 years, who will care?

My grandmother told me: We all dated lots of different boys because no one was having sex or kissing. It was just going out for sodas and getting to know people. It didn't seem like there was a threat. I think now we have more ideas of people having premarital and unprotected sex.

And I think the female creative urge is intrinsically biologically linked to our ability to give birth to a child, even if we've never... I've never given birth, but I feel like it's part of our psychology.

I had a real feeling of being fated to be an actor and do my work, and I remember so much speaking up in a room full of people who authentically knew as much or more than me, and feeling like I was absolutely equal, and what I had to say was important.

I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience, but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.

I'm klutzy, and I don't embarrass easily.

So often you're asked to play impossibly perfect version of yourself on screen that it's nice to get to bring in those parts that you think aren't as worth looking at.

I think from my earliest childhood, I liked to tell stories, put on plays and write things. It's funny to think of it as an artistic bug because I didn't necessarily want to be an artist. It's just who I was and how I communicate.

I think the written word is my first love. I was just a very imagination - centered child and a big part of that imaginary life came from reading.
