I didn't use a phone until I was 14.

I think everybody's got a malicious side.

I want to do really good things with my life.

If another actor gets a good role, I'm furious.

I think all actors have addictive personalities.

My failures has helped me as much as my successes.

My life has been sensationalised into a rags to riches story.

The hardest part about acting is realizing it doesn't matter.

I take care of myself so I don't feel insecure about my body.

A lot of my success is because of what I look like. I know that.

Nobodys perfect. And if you think they are, youre sadly mistaken.

Nobody's perfect. And if you think they are, you're sadly mistaken.

You hurt the ones you love the most. Because it hurts you the most.

I like reading, going to the gym, hanging out with my family. That's it.

You really have to work harder to come up with new ways to play the scenes.

I'm part of the Ipod generation. I got 10,000 tracks from all over the world.

I got paid 20 grand for my first film. And that's the lowest I ever got paid.

My mother said I was a star when I was about four years old. That's all I need.

When it comes to dreams, one may falter, but the only way to fail is to abandon them.

I like being 30. I wouldn't want to do the twenties again. They are their own entity.

When little kids come up to me, I'm a fully-grown adult, and that's always weird to me.

I can be intolerably jealous and I think that's what's driven me. My ambition knows no end.

I can be intolerably jealous and I think that’s what’s driven me. My ambition knows no end.

I always think there will be that time that people will find out that I'm crap at what I do.

I'm a workaholic. I also go to the gym a lot - it's my new thing. Yes, I am a compulsive person.

I completely believe that I will produce my best work and my best work will come in my thirties.

No one picked on me for my lunch money. Probably because it was the 1980s and no one had lunch money.

If I wasn't so insecure about myself I wouldn't work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval.

You can work well with people that you may not get on well with in life because it's a parallel realism.

Even though I've had the body of work I've had, and the success I've had, I do not rest on my laurels whatsoever.

I don't hang out with movie stars, and you won't see me going to many Hollywood parties. I'm actually quite boring.

I find actors who play nasty guys in movies are the nicest guys in real life, and the opposite then goes for heroes.

Celebrity has lost its value - all you have to do is go on a reality TV show for six weeks and everybody knows your name.

You go through your 20s sort of like a chrysalis in many ways, stretching into your own skin and trying to bust out of a cocoon.

Let's be honest. Physicality is going to have a bearing on the parts you get. And if you think differently, you're in the wrong business.

There's not much of a difference shooting something for TV and shooting something for film; the difference is film is in a cinema and TV is in your home.

I'm a one-woman guy. I think that if you can find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, you should marry them instantly, and try to stay married.

When I was a kid, you listened to a certain genre. Now it's like, "I love indie rock, I love hip-hop, jazz, funk." Also, we knew it couldn't be the same thing each year.

It can take a long time for some people to find out how to ground themselves, and film sets are an odd atmosphere to do it in - especially if, like me, you finished school early.

I don't love acting. How can you love something when you sit around 12 hours a day and work 10 minutes a day? I'm just doing it because it keeps me off the streets and out of jail.

You really have to keep people interested, at all times, until the punch comes. You can do that with a film that lasts 90 to 100 minutes. That's very difficult to do at 160 minutes.

You know what I like to do on a Sunday morning? Clean my house. I really enjoy it; it's my ritual. I require tidiness, actually. I have to have everything spotless before I can relax.

I was just a kid and I didn't have a dad. That's hard, because when you're a kid, you blame yourself for everything. And I blamed myself for him not being around, for my parents not being together.

I've never gone to acting school and I never will, so I'm learning about the business from the people who are in the business. It doesn't seem like I work at all. And the unknown is always exciting.

Going after a part in Hollywood is like being a gladiator in ancient Rome. When it comes down to getting a role, you don't have any friends, you're incredibly competitive and any actor who tells you different is lying.

That's a funny thing, fame. People definitely do treat you differently. When you begin to be successful, people say, 'Don't go changing.' Well, that's easy to say, but the fact is, you don't change at all - other people do.

As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world.

I wouldn't date an actress. There's only room for one actor in my life and I'm it. Too difficult. On the one hand, they understand the job. But on the other hand, it's very competitive within the relationship. Two actors, say one becomes a mega-star and the other doesn't.

I think what qualitiy make for good directors is being able to articulate what you want; it can cause problems with a lack of communication. I'm not an actor who requires much talking to a director, I don't want to sit down and discuss a scene for hours and hours; that would bore me.
