'The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is my favorite book. You feel manly reading it.
I don't know about you, but my girlfriends have been my girlfriends forever, and they're my sisters and my family.
I always went to see independent films, they're the movies I'm usually most excited to see.
You want everyone to succeed in your family.
And at NYU, I went to the Atlantic Theater Company, and they have two main points. One of them is to always be active in something instead of just feeling it. And the other is figuring out your character.
But I have a list of books that I want to read before I die, and whenever I get time to read something that isn't a script, I'll read something from that.
Movies are in a much longer production conversation before an actor is even involved. I always thought of actors as the last piece of the puzzle - so you're a tool.
When I was 14 or 15, I was a really good volleyball player, so I thought, 'Well, maybe I'll just get a scholarship to an Ivy League school through volleyball.' Then I quit when I decided to focus on theater.
Yes, I don't read books for entertainment.
I had a great drama teacher in high school, and that's when I started to learn about the history of theater.
When I'm wearing heels at events, my feet feel like they're sitting in pools of blood.
And I've been taking acting classes since I was 7.
