I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.

It's weird doing red carpets; it's uncomfortable. But you can have a sense of humor about it.

I'm happiest when I'm just hanging out with my friends... it really doesn't matter what we do.

I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn't afraid of being in front of a camera.

Lars von Trier is not not somebody who is known for conducting a normal press conference ever!

I feel like I could never walk around a film half-naked. I definitely wouldn't want to see that.

It's nice when the movie is not on your shoulders, too. It's fun to do a smaller part sometimes.

I can't wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake.

I really wanted the MTV Award the most, It was a golden popcorn container and it looks really neat.

When you're in a depressed state, having something really bad happen gives you kind of a life again.

I've seen 'karma' slap people in the face. You have to be good to people. It really does come around.

I feel very lucky that I don't have to rely on a man to give me financial security. That's a big deal.

I can't watch my movies and get into them because as soon as I see myself I get taken out of the film.

The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.

I'm not someone who feels the pressure of someone else's expectations. That's a very young way to feel.

It's hard to get lost in a scene, to get into a character when everyone's standing around you on the set.

I think you see in people's eyes what they've been through. Anything in their lives shows up in their eyes.

You know how people say awards don't mean anything? Hello! I think the energy around them makes everyone cuckoo.

What actor do you really take seriously who becomes a singer? It's kind of ridiculous. I can't think of anybody.

I would always rather do a mediocre script with a great filmmaker than a great script with a mediocre filmmaker.

My mom raise me so wonderfully. She gave me self esteem and made me appreciate my flaws, as well as my strengths.

I attract a different kind of boy when my hair's red. I get more quality men - like a more thoughtful, nerdy dude.

What are you going to do if it's the end of the world? You better go out having fun instead of stressing about it.

To be in someone's favorite film is just - that's what you want. You want to be in great films that are memorable.

I think most human beings go through some sort of depression in their life. And if they don't, I think that's weird.

I get to do all these crazy things in the movies. I'm a pretty chilled out person, actually... a very mellow person.

Why would I cry over a boy? I would never waste my tears on a boy. Why waste your tears on someone who makes you cry?

I've never had a teenage rebellion; I'm not that type of person. I always work out my problems in a conscientious way.

I've never had a teenage rebellion, I'm not that type of person. I always work out my problems in a conscientious way.

I'm not a very 'this is planned out' person when I get to set. 'This is how I'm going to do it' - I'm never like that.

I think that most human beings go through some sort of depression in their life. And if they don't, I think that's weird.

I started when I was three years old, doing commercials and Modeling in New York, I liked it so much that I kept doing it.

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're excited for the day? That's one of my main goals in life.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.

I think every woman goes through a relationship where she is with a guy that is really not right for her. You get lost in it.

I just don't want to be the damsel in distress. I'll scream on the balcony, but you've got to let me do a little action here.

It's such a private thing - 'my process' - I can just say that the work that I do is like therapy between me and the character.

It's always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you've affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.

I'm a good assistant. That's why I don't have an assistant, because I'm so on it that no one can be as on it as me. I know that.

I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?

I don't live in the spotlight, and I don't live my life in front of the paparazzi. I live very comfortably and quietly as possible.

My grandmother lives with my mother in a gorgeous house in the San Fernando Valley. I am afforded these luxuries, and I'm very young.

When I was younger, I always did movies that teenagers would watch, not adults. I did 'Crazy/Beautiful' or comedies like 'Bring It On.'

Most people ask me questions based on a previous interview. That's not an interview. It's like they're just saying my quotes back to me.

Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don't you? Just tell me so I can get over you.

I would love to play Marlene Dietrich in a movie. My dad's from Germany and so I feel like that would be a really interesting person to play.

If I saw 'Virgin Suicides' or 'Eternal Sunshine,' I'm so proud to be in those movies. They are such great movies. I felt so free on those sets.

It's interesting to watch people go through it in something like this. I mean, what other then Melancholia films do they portray depression in?

But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts.

I think for everyone it's good to have your own personal work on a character and a film before you even start rehearsing, to have an inner life.
