“If I have to draw attention away from some hormone-induced acne on my chin, I put on a lot of mascara.”

I think that women are more sensitive to emotional infidelity than men. I think men are more scared of physical infidelity.

I actually think the subject of young divorce is pretty funny; I’d like to write a movie about it.

There are so many young women in film school right now, and it’s just about foreign sales companies, domestic sales companies agreeing to finance films directed by and starring women.

I feel like the luckiest person on the planet. ‘Tron’ was such a departure for me.

At one point I thought changing my name might help with privacy, but that was before the Internet.

All actors should experience public failure.

The thing that’s wonderful about social media is that we are able to give a voice to the voiceless and to help educate each other. I benefit from it as much as I provide those lessons.

I have very high standards for every part of life – my work, my relationships, food, love. I can’t just pretend.

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

But even if I’m left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

I did not succeed in life by intelligence. I succeeded because I have a long attention span.

It’s not how many followers you have, it’s how many care. It’s not width, it’s depth. It’s not how many impressions you get, it’s how much attention you get.

Habits reduce cognitive load and free up mental capacity, so you can allocate your attention to other tasks.

Once you figure out what respect tastes like, it tastes better than attention. But you have to get there.

If you’re the singer in the band, you always get more attention than anyone else.

I admire you on how you always pay attention to every little things like they all matter to you.

You are not obligated to pay attention to things that threaten your peace.
