Quotes
 I'd
hate to say it, but I'm a blueblood. That's just the way I've been
raised.
There
are girls, people in the industry who just kind of flip through
magazines and pick out guys, like, 'I'm gonna date him.' I could never
do that. I dont think being set up works. I'm big into fate.
Acting
is a life experience. I'm always learning things when I'm making a
movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out
of this job.
Do
you think it is possible to love someone your entire life and never
realise it?
I
want success for everybody is what I'm saying. I think that's really
important actually, especially in this business. It can be so cutthroat.
That's
the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting
next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing
another guy.
The
other day a friend called and told me they made a porn film using the
title of my first movie. I guess you know you've made it when there's a
porn parody of a movie you've done.
You
promote your films; it's part of your job. You do the magazine covers
and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely
don't try to make it into any more craziness than it is.
I'm
ready for this. I'm just glad my 'breakout' wasn't a gigantic film. I
feel solid in myself now.
I
watched a lot of Hepburn to prepare for Lois, particularly 'The
Philadelphia Story' and 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'. Hepburn is a
great model for how I see Lois - strong but fragile.
I'm
in love with what I do but it's not the only thing that fulfills me.
I
think probably trying to please too many people. Sometimes I get so
caught up in making other people happy that I just sort of forget about
making myself happy and you obviously need to make yourself happy.
Everybody
makes mistakes, including role models, so you should just learn and grow
from it. Even the best role models do screw up and learn from their
mistakes, and I think it is just completely unrealistic to say that role
models are perfect. Personally, I think perfection is boring, and
secondly, I just think that it's okay to make mistakes.
As
an only child, you either become a loner or you learn to put yourself
out there, which my parents encouraged.
I
don't really get star-struck, but I do get talent struck. If I meet
somebody that I think is just wildly talented and brilliant, that's when
I start getting nervous.
Of
course everybody had their own little thing. My worst thing was ice
cream, I was so intense about that. I insisted that no one touch the Ben
& Jerry's Half Baked. If they did, it was a full-out showdown.
