With social media and advertising and filters and FaceTune-ing it's hard to even to know what's real and what's not. So to see an image of a woman where you can actually see her face and her skin texture and she's still polished and beautiful or even glamorous with a nighttime look, but it still feels like a real person. I feel like that's the kind of beauty I want to applaud and align myself with.
In terms of the characters, I definitely do look for somebody that I think people can learn from and I can learn from too. In one way or another, by the fact that they are a role or by that fact that they aren't a role model. I feel like I was attracted to the past few characters that I've played, because they have an element that really touched my heart.
Theater is such a different ballgame than film. And that's really why I stayed in film, because I really love the reality of connecting with your own feelings, and really putting that across in a realistic way. In film, the smallest muscular movements in your face, that are produced just by sheer feelings, you're not controlling them in anyway, can be seen by people in the audience because your face is sometimes, frighteningly, 40 feet wide!
I love the silhouettes of the '50s that were feminine and womanly without being too revealing. I've always gravitated towards that kind of sense of style and fashion.
A lot of my hair and makeup, and everything I pull for inspiration, is [drawn] from old photographs.
I've always loved the fashion of the '30s and everything that came with the Art Deco era - the jewelry and the glamour.
I suppose that it doesn't matter whether a song is written or sung by a man or a woman. If the sentiment is there, it captures the audience.
I've never been a person who focused on trends. I'm influenced and inspired by trends, but I don't always subscribe to them.
I just really gravitate towards a nostalgia for a time when things were simpler. When beauty was more classical and glamorous.
I love Judy Garland, I love Doris Day, I love Marilyn Monroe. I love everything that comes from that era. The music is just beautiful and powerful - and simple. That's what makes it so great.
I went to school on the Internet. I was not a cheerleader.
All the Hollywood bullshit and accolades and money really doesn't matter. It just gives you a slightly nicer house and slightly nicer food and slightly shinier hair.
My favorite episode is where the guy has a relationship with his car. An intimate and sexual and emotional relationship with his car.
A friend of mine is in a long-distance relationship. They have dates on Skype. They'll both watch the same movie and...play.
Never get your girlfriend a pet that she didn't know she was getting.
I hate cats. But this cancer cat made me feel bad, so I was like, Okay, I'll take her back to L. A. and give her her last six months of pain-free life.
I have a dog as well, and I'm not a vegan or anything. But I needlepoint and I have a cat, so it's not boding well.
When a really cute dog shows up on your doorstep, you can't be like, Yeah, no. You're like, Oh, yay, puppy!
That's my dream to be old enough and mature enough that I won't be considered an "old lady" if I have a house with a barn. Because I already do needlepoint.
I feel like, as an adult, a lot of how you feel about yourself and what your inner workings are can be revealed in a sexual situation.
Life can be very funny and very tragic. Everyone has stuff that they've been through that makes up whatever fire it is that they have in their gut, but nobody goes around wearing that as their outmost exterior, all the time.
A lot of people would wear anger, depression or aggravation as their first layer, and they don't. They very much understand what's really important in life.
As an actor, and especially as a young woman, there's so much pressure to look good all the time and it really detracts from what our job really is about, which is portraying a different person.
As an actor, you always look for things that will stretch you and that are different than you are, so that you can surprise yourself, and you want to surround yourself with the highest caliber of people that will make you look good.
Being on Twitter, live tweeting some of the episodes, I get direct feedback from people.
