"You don't have to work hard to bring emotions. It all just comes naturally, you're there living it."
"I'm not a dark person at all, so those roles are the most challenging. I don't think I'm necessarily drawn to dark things. It just seems to work out that way."
"By knowing your character so well you can't go wrong."
"It was a huge shock. I've never had hair that short in my life! I think the rest of the cast and crew were mourning my haircut more than I was! But after a while, I felt liberated, I learned to embrace it."
"I've taken three years off to live as a normal person."
"I rode horses when I was young - I still have my ribbons at home - so I used to wear boots, jodphurs, all this stuff."
"Hong Kong girls have a genius sense of style. I came back to the States thinking no one here has any individuality. Or cute enough socks."
"When I was younger, I had no interest. But after I went to Paris to see the collections for the first time a few years ago, they made a huge impression on me. I realized that fashion is an art form, like acting or painting."
"I love acting and I feel really grateful that I've been successful at it. I didn't go into it because I wanted to be famous, or be photographed. I never set out to be noticed."
"It was actually a really refreshing experience for me because usually in modern films you're getting your hair blown out every day, getting some nice makeup done, wardrobe. But it was actually really fun to get dirty every single day. I don't even know why, but it was just a different experience and everything different is fun." (onn 10,000 AC)
"Whenever I hear about these girls, I just feel sad. It is unfortunate that people with such potential and talent can fall prey to a certain lifestyle, but then I always think, 'Where are/were their parents?' I fully credit my family for keeping me grounded and for putting me back in line whenever necessary. I am also very lucky to not have the type of personality of someone that enjoys going out-so I have never felt tempted."
"Someone like Joaquin Phoenix or Russell Crowe, really intense actors. I love them. There's really no brooding young man I'm dying to work with. I've worked with Daniel Day Lewis. I'd die to work with him again. He's my favorite. He always has been."
