I'm a huge fan of Steve Martin. He's hilarious, but he has this depth to him and this way of dealing with the difficult things in life with a sense of humor that I think has helped me as an actress.

Im a combination between extreme insecurity and extreme confidence.

Going to the darkest place you can to make yourself really upset and adding that with the physicality and running around, you can work yourself into hysteria that way.

I love stories about people that, whatever situation they're in, you can relate to them in a way.

When I was little, I thought about becoming a lawyer like my parents, and my mother would always tell me, "You can do anything you want - except be a lawyer."

I try to write my own music. It's a good way of de-stressing.

Acting is a really strange thing. You have to know when you're put in a bad situation, but you also have to be willing to do something very strange.

I'm really easily affected by horror films. I have pretty strong reactions to them.

I use a lot of sense memory and, well, I can't really avoid getting into character.

I went to an all-girls school for part of high school, and the idea of boys was amazing to me, like, all I ever wanted to do was kiss boys and be around boys.

I think my parents saw that acting ultimately made me happy, even though it was a rough ride for a little bit. There wasn't a ton of pushback about it.

Unconditional love and forgiveness are the sources of eternal happiness.

Every time I so much as blink you get an erection.

I think the main reason my marriages failed is that I always loved too well but never wisely.

The less there was to see, the harder he looked, the more he saw. (Point Omega)

Courtesy is not dead - it has merely taken refuge in Great Britain.

That's the great thing about entering a convent: There are things that you simply can't do, so you don't have to worry about them

People who take risk intelligently can usually actually make a lot more progress than people who don't.

I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.

The unusual wins out over the usual.

I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.
