“I love a star print. I always get a lurch if I see a nice one.”

My dad was born in Chicago in 1908… his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children – in the backroom all together – and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.

My earliest influences were Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent.

I grew up in the countryside, and I was obsessed with horses and wildlife.

Ever since I was little I really loved boyish clothes – I had a real obsession with strict clothes, like uniforms. They really got me going.

Sure, I like to win when I play basketball or board games or video games, but my day isnt ruined if I lose. Im always up for a rematch. In all seriousness, thats something thats nice about maturing.

It’s nice to know when you’re a part of a story, it’s nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.

Now I’ve even gotten to running out to the fan buses that pass by our house, so I can talk to the people. I think I’m trying to gather fans, frankly. They’re very, very nice people – they really understand. It’s fun talking to them.

I had a nice read on the putt and I said to myself, ‘This is for you, Jesus, ‘ and knocked it in.

It’s really nice when you can sit down with somebody and just talk to them, and talk about your ideas and what you think the character is, and they respond to it. It’s a really nice way to do it, but it doesn’t happen very often.

No one pays me to be nice.

I don’t believe that prayers actually change God’s mind – if there is a God – but I liked praying for people in need. It was like moral weightlifting. I tend to be self-obsessed, and it was nice to get out of my brain once in a while.

I am the good girl and I always play the good girl. It’s nice to do that.
