“I was bored one day, so my dad took me to this acting school. I liked it more than having fun – I liked it for an actual job.”

I don’t celebrate really crazy.

Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.

I’m really small, so I think if I shrink, I’d turn into a puddle.

I had best friends who were in the industry, and I’m like, it’s cool if you get a job, and I’m happy.

I’m keeping the pixie. I hope I inspire people, it’s really cool to have short hair.

It makes so much sense to just love what you do and go to work every day to get to get to work.

I don’t actually watch ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ When I was in it, I kind of knew that it was a big deal. My sister’s a big fan, so I kind of knew.

I’m cool with people dressing up as Eleven for Halloween. I definitely want to open my door and give them candy.

It was really fun to play a period piece because I’ve never done that before and it’s completely different.

Orcas are my spirit animal. That’s my favorite mammal.

At the end of the day, I just do my job. I love my art.

I don’t care what I look like; it’s how people think of me. And I do care how people think of me. I want people to say, ‘Oh, she’s nice,’ rather than, ‘Oh, she’s so pretty.’

I write many essays on whales. I love whales, especially orcas. And dolphins.

I sort of knew I was a bit of a drama queen. I always threw tantrums, so I knew I wasn’t a normal child.

I never liked sleeping in the dark. I have, like, twinkle stars around my bed, so it’s not so bad.

I’ve watched the Emmys for almost my whole life, so it was crazy to finally be there in the audience clapping and actually going on stage. Hopefully one day I’ll get to be actually nominated.

They must be very careful and think about enrolling in training first, they must make a thoughtful decision before actually doing it.

Actually, I have a lot of hobbies, but I’ve kept up with model-building the longest. In particular, I love military models.

I have spent six years in prison, the last six years. Even if I was outside the prison, how much actual space was there for an investigative journalist to do his work in Iran?

You can actually figure out before you work on something how much blood you will have to let emotionally.

Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.

“Trust me, you don’t want to have to actually interact with these people.”

By getting into distribution and production, I am actually widening my base.

The most important thing a woman can do for another is to illuminate her actual possibilities.
