“I’m also human so I have days when I look in the mirror and go, “All right . Things are definitely changing.” I can see that.”

I’m not ready to get married, but I have a pretty great family and I’d like that too, someday.

Once you have done with school, you realise that it is just a smaller version of life, and really I have felt that I should have been an adult since I was aged about five.

Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are.

I’ve always had an aversion to looking sexy, but I’ve grown out of it.

I always say every single moment that has led me to this moment has made me who I am.

I don’t expect to seem cool to everyone; nor do I want to be. I think that’s the opposite of the definition of cool. So I don’t care at all.

Hateful, racist and ignorant remarks. When I hear people criticize without knowing the context, it makes me boil inside.

I want to be an actor, I am just not very comfortable talking about myself.

I know who I am. I have a very strong sense of self.

This weird thing happens when you’re in a movie that has some level of success. People start offering you all kinds of things, and they just expect you to do them because they’ll be good for your career. It’s not about the project’s integrity or anything like that.

I don’t believe in censorship.

One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct.

I think we want to be around people that kind of push us and inspire us and maybe teach us.

If you follow your heart, you’re never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly.

There’s no way to be prepared for a conversation with someone you don’t know about something that means the world to you.

If you didn’t have anxiety, then you wouldn’t have passion for anything. The reason we have anxiety is because you care and you’re thoughtful.

There should be change – the West should understand our music and culture, and vice versa. With such collaboration, artists can come closer to each other and come to know each other.

The industry has changed. Two years ago I could tell a company I’ve got Russell Crowe and that would get the film made. Now they’d ask ‘And who’s the girl?’ Just one famous face isn’t enough any more.

One thing I’m not going to do is change up anything. Like, I’m always gonna be me.

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

We have our thoughts, our hopes, our fears, and yet we know that in a moment a change may come over any one of us that will convert a living, breathing human being into a mass of lifeless clay.

The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is this – a movie star will say, ‘How can I change the script to suit me?’ and a movie actor will say. ‘How can I change me to suit the script?’

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

I pray to give thanks and to recognize all the good things that are in my life even during times of great change, confusion, or frustration.
