All over the world, maybe besides literature, there's nothing that touches many people as movies do. People see them everywhere.Collection: Movies
Your imagination is your most important tool as an actor, as cheesy as that sounds.Collection: Imagination
Costume is a huge part of getting into character. Your body soaks in what you're wearing, and you turn into someone else.
I'm from the suburbs and where I'm from didn't necessarily have people like you see in 'Suburgatory,' but along those lines and I think people will laugh at themselves. And it's lighthearted.
I actually failed my first license test. I got an automatic fail. I guess I had been doing well but she had to pull the emergency brake so obviously there was a problem. I remember them handing me my fail paper and me just bursting into tears.
I do like the whole idea of going to a location to shoot a movie, and there is a start date and a finish date, and a lot of special things happen within those weeks.
The whole thing about doing TV is that you never know what's going to happen. You just have to go with it and go with the flow.
To be honest, there are so many things I learned in acting school beyond the method; it was a safe place to practice. So acting school was about exercising that acting muscle and doing it every single day - and having people tell you that you're bad every single day! Which pushes you to work even harder.
I have amazing parents and some really great friends that would kick my butt if I ever started acting different.
One of the only TV shows that I really love is 'Twin Peaks.' Kyle McLachlan plays Agent Dale Cooper, and I love Dale Cooper, so I'm in love with Kyle McLachlan. He could be my dad, so it's really weird.
I know plenty people, and I've done it myself, where you lock yourself inside for four days and you a watch a whole series. It's like watching a never-ending movie. It's great not to have to wait for the next season or the next week.
I have very complex and complicated ideas about technology. It's such a prominent way that we communicate with each other. In ways, I think it's really positive, and in ways, I think it's really negative.
My boyfriend and I don't get to live in the same city all the time, and the fact that I can text him or call him or even Skype with him is so wonderful.
Honestly, it's hard to learn about comedy from comedians. Comedy is not something that you necessarily learn or can imitate. You're funny or you're not, and you hope what you're doing is funny.
Auditioning is such an unnatural thing. You're in a tiny little room with, like, seven people cramped together, acting to a casting director; just, none of it makes any sense.
I don't like roller coasters. I don't like bungee jumping. I don't like snow boarding really fast down the hill. I am not someone who is an adrenaline junkie.
When I was little, I asked my mom to move us to Los Angeles and get me an agent. She would say, 'Stop it. Go play in the dirt.'
My mom was one of the original designers for Coach in the eighties, and she designed some classics, including the City Bag. It's the only bag I use!
I went to England for five months when I was in high school, by myself, so I did experience a bit of being the fish out of water.

Violence has been a part of storytelling forever and there's obviously a reason for it. Fairy tales are really violent, the original ones. I think there's something cathartic about having kids live through their fears through a book or any kind of story.Collection: Book
I am really attracted to films. It's nice to do something new, all the time. That's why I like being an actor.Collection: Nice
I feel like I'll always feel that I have so much to learn and I don't feel uncomfortable in my skin.Collection: Skins
I'm always changing and learning about acting, and about myself. I just hope to always keep doing that.Collection: Acting

I'm like a weird actor. I feel like I'm vastly uneducated when it comes to the cinema.Collection: Cinema
When I make a movie, I just make the movie. I don't think about the success of it. If it becomes successful, that's an amazing treat. If it doesn't, you had a great time making it and you learned from it, and then you make a new thing.Collection: Successful
I haven't even watched that many movies, I'm like a weird actor.Collection: Actors
Violence is a part of the world and life, and you shouldnt have to take it out of stories.Collection: Stories
I find the film world very romantic. I want to try to be in more movies. When you're on a TV show and you do the same thing for years and years, it can get a little bit boring.Collection: Years
If I only did TV show, I'd probably not be the happiest girl. I love the show, but I'm an actor and I want to work on different things. TV lasts for so much of the year that you're just aching to play a different part. And I love movies so much that I want to be a part of as many as I can.Collection: Girl
