I was comfortable with the words, ... Most times I find myself trying to rewrite parts of my character, but not this time.

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.

I like people more undone than made up. Patricia Arquette is the ultimate. She's not anorexic or perfectly tan, she's not trying to be anything but what she is, and that's the most sexy thing.

When you're little, you're open to things. It's not like you get into this rehearsed zone when you're a child. At first you play different sides of yourself. And I think it will be really exciting one day to have a character to go into that's not anything like me whatsoever.

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 really want to do a film in another language. My dad's from Germany, so it'd be really cool to do a film in German. I'm not quite fluent, but I can get there. And my accent's pretty good. I wouldn't feel too out of my element.
