I'm a really trusting person and I always have been. I just think I've cultivated a very keen skill of recognising someone I shouldn't trust, pretty readily. A person has about 15 to 27 seconds before I'm pretty sure whether or not I can trust them or not.

The older you get, the more fragile you understand life to be. I think that's good motivation for getting out of bed joyfully each day.

Two of my three siblings are older, so I suppose I learned from them and became a very avid reader at a young age, which I think enough cannot be said for what you can discover through literature.

[On refusing to do nude movie scenes:] There are certain people who should know what you look like naked. I just don't think your high-school algebra teacher should be one of them.

I don't think fame changes people. People change as they gather more experiences and information about life.

I think people who come into my home feel comfortable and welcome and loved. And the biggest thing in my living room (the fireplace) is in and of itself an expression of love.

You never know how stylish a movie is going to be and I think this movie has a great sense of style. The way that it is shot and our costumes and everything, it was just terrific.

In my life I think I made really solid decisions, and I would stand by them all over again.

I think enough cannot be said for what you can discover through literature. So I think that was probably my most valued characteristic as a teenager.
