It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

I've auditioned for roles that involved voice, but I don't like it. I feel like, I can't do this in front of you. It seems so separate - I don't share it with a lot of people. And I'm not into public performances.

You don't have to listen to those mean girls. They're just there to make you upset and make you feel bad about yourself. And you know, inside, they feel bad about themselves too. But they don't wanna admit it to anybody.

I did theater when I was nine, I think. Nine and ten, and that was just the beginning of my whole involvement in acting, my whole interest. I don't really remember it that well. But it was really fun. I mean, it was exciting just to be on stage in front of an audience. It gives you a different kind of rush.

Hollywood is just like high school. The popular people only like the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice - or they're nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.

I didn't like fairy tales when I was younger. I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.

Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It's frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn't. Exploring your sexuality is important when you're growing up.

Marriage, at this point in my life? I'm not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I'm 35 or 40.

I went to art school when I was little. I took ballet lessons. I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn't know where to put it. When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it.

Making people laugh is magic. I feel like if you have humility, then you can do anything in comedy.

I have jeans with holes in them and I have nice jeans. I have casual and I have dressy jeans. I've got all kinds.

Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I'm bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole singing thing. But when I grew up in Pennsylvania I went to voice lessons once a week.

I'm not really into clubbing, I like to go to parties after events, and those do end up at clubs or bars. But in my free time I go grocery shopping or to the gym, or I talk on the phone.

I have written some songs, but I would really call what I've done poetry at the end of the day, because I'll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won't touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don't have time, because I'd rather be doing other things, like knitting.

I'm most comfortable in my birthday suit.

Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can't portray when you're acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel. When you hear a song and you're acting it's incredible. But when you're singing a song and you're acting it's even more incredible.

A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.

A smoky eye and nice hair are not going to make my night any easier.

Actors are separated all the time.

Anxiety, it just stops your life.

Being professional is just really clearly the way to go and helps you on the road to longevity.

For the first time in my life I'm really happy to be unattached because I realise there is so much responsibility to having a partner.

I don't dye my hair and I can go without makeup.

I don't like to play characters that are too perfect.

I don't think it's really possible to share someone in most cases.

I don't want to be in magazines everyday, because I don't want people to get used to one thing.

I don't want to become a brand and I certainly don't want to have a persona.

I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn't sit well with me.

I get unreasonably nervous before talk shows.

I guess I would ideally want to be 20 physically, but 40 mentally.

I happen to be really a romantic.

I have a dirty mouth sometimes, and I'm very liberal, and that doesn't always go down well in the film industry - especially when you've got to appeal to mums and daughters.

I have only really gotten by with playing versions of myself as most young actors do.

I have realized that I hate going to the premieres of the movies that I'm in. Because I feel this tension after the movie is over that everyone feels obligated to say something nice to you. It's so unnatural and uncomfortable.

I have to feel good on the inside to look glamorous.

I just can't wait for the future.

I just like to do covers, every once in a while. If someone pays me to go into the studio, I'll do it.

I like to keep people guessing.

I love acting like I'm in love. It's a very positive thing.

I love my apartment in New York.

I make hats. I'm on a hat frenzy. I'm on my eighth and I love it.

I mean, why am I considered an 'it girl?' Because I'm in a lot of movies right now or am on the covers of magazines? I just hope there is something solid behind that. Because here's the thing with 'it girl' status. It's great and amazing that anybody is saying that at all. But how long does that last?

I remember I had a fight with my friend when I touched a boy for the first time and I didn't tell her. She got mad with me, not because I didn't tell her but because I'd done it in the first place.

I talk like I know what I'm saying, but I don't.

I think I'm past the age of getting lost.

I think the era of the diva actress is coming to an end.

I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model.
