If anyone wants to know the weirdest thing, it's getting your hair cut and seeing it on the news. Terrorists probably knew about my haircut.

I never wanted to be an actor. My dad was an actor, and he never brought joy home, so I didn't view it as something that I would want to do.

There's this freshness that happens within the first few takes of the actors actually listening to each other and actually really reacting.

I want to play a character I've never been before-a crazy serial killer like Charlize Theron in Monster. I'd love to have to shave my head.

Everyone's brain works in a different way. I didn't feel smart in school; I just didn't get it. I thought I was an idiot. Until I got out.

I view the director as my boss. I'm the pawn on the chess board. I don't say something to the director easily, because they are my boss.

I'd like to think that I have a plan, but you can't really pick what scripts you're going to get or what movie is going to come along.

I'm still the same and I don't feel any different but when the elevator doors open and everybody gasps, it's an alienating feeling.

Once I'm obsessed with somebody, I'm terrified of them instantly. I'm not scared of them - I'm scared of me and how I will react.

A powerful woman is someone who exudes confidence and can be tough but fair and kind. And also knows how to get what she wants.

What's so sad is when we're younger, if you have a bad parent, that is normal to you and that's what you think of as healthy.

Better passion and death than any more of these'isms'. No more of the old purpose done up in aspic. Better passion and death.

I had to learn how to chop wood actually - I don't think my dad would have let me go chop wood in the backyard growing up.

If you don't look like an airbrushed model ... you have to look past it. You look how you look. What are you going to do?

I never imagined myself as an actor who would be in films. I always only thought of myself being in a play or a musical.

There are actresses who build themselves, and then there are actresses who are built by others. I want to build myself.

I've got five or six amazing friends that I trust and love, I know exactly who I am and don't care about anything else.

I grew up in Kentucky, but I did not grow up like that. I had heat, and I didn't have to shoot my dinner or anything.

I find a certain peace by thinking of me in public as sort of an avatar self. You out there can have the avatar me.

I do have some kind of gravitational pull towards young characters with more responsibility than they should have.

When I get asked, 'what are the differences between Twilight and THG' I'm like, 'Erm, what are the similarities?'

It was like pulling teeth trying to get me to L.A. I hated it for so long, but now I've got this great life here.

When I'm not working, I am the laziest person. I can literally lie on a couch and watch television for 15 hours.

Teenagers only have to focus on themselves - its not until we get older that we realize that other people exist.

I just don't like that you can either be ugly and smart or pretty and dumb, or ugly and nice or pretty and mean.

I think women can be just as sexist. Women can be misogynistic, too - more so, they have more freedom to do it.

I like when things are hard; I'm very competitive. If something seems difficult or impossible, it interests me.

It's something I always tell myself: 'You need to calm the f--k down. You don't want to constantly be a GIF.

I never play characters that are like me because I'm a boring person. I wouldn't want to see me in a movie.

My iCloud keeps telling me to back it up, and I'm like, 'I don't know how to back you up. Do it yourself!'

I get photographers hiding in my bushes. We're way past autographs. We're into being stalked and followed.

It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting.

I think all mothers are a nightmare - i don't think you can have children and not lose your goddamn mind.

At the end of the day, there's probably nothing that makes me feel better than junk food and reality TV.

I just think it should be illegal to call someone fat on TV... Because why is humiliating people funny?

People call me fat, but I don't care. I don't want to starve myself cause I am beautiful the way I am.

I'm going to do my thing and if you react a certain way - with pity or with anger - that's up to you.

Don't go see the movies, I'm a troll. I think the movie was great, but their biggest mistake was me.

I was raised to have value for money, to have respect for money, even though you have a lot of it.

I do have big ambitions, but I think we all do. I just want to keep working hard and being happy.

I learned that you can't have any expectations with life. You never know what's going to happen.

If a woman is determined, she will get what she wants because we are very determined creatures.

I never leave my house. Then I don't have to put a bra on, and I don't have to change my pants.

Why can't we just be nice? It's like, we grow up, and then we get right back into high school.

I’m a big believer in accepting yourself the way you are and not really worrying about it.

Like backstage, I just peed like every 3 seconds. I think yur staff thinks I have diarrhea.

If you are going to do something that you have to lie about, don't do it, it's very simple.

People treating you differently, when you don't feel any different, is really alienating.

More women have to be in charge of studios, so that they can greenlight films with women.
