“My life is together, both professionally and socially.”

The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We’re not running the same race. It’s like we’re all doing different sports in fact.

In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.

I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices – it reflects on who I am.

I believe that whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you stronger.

I only do this because I’m having fun. The day I stop having fun, I’ll just walk away.

I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.

I think the most common cause of insomnia is simple; its loneliness.

I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself.

In my opinion, New York City police officers are brave.

I’ve never had high expectations of my work and I certainly am not going to let that plague my thoughts. I’m just going to continue to choose what feels right for me at the time and go with it.

I’m shy. People get confused. They think as an actor you can get up and be confident on the screen. Why aren’t you like this in normal life? Why can’t you act in your social life? ‘Because I can’t!’

I believe acting truly is harnessing the power of belief.

A little fight in you. I like that.

I wasn’t going to have fun doing a teen movie again.

The Australian sense of humor is very dry, sarcastic, and very undercover. Like if I tell any jokes in America, people just think I’m serious! So I just quit telling any jokes whatsoever.

It’s odd, that’s why I don’t like telling people I played field hockey. It’s real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, ‘Oh, you girl!’
