• "I do intelligent roles. I don't want to be labeled as doing silly movies. I'm more mature than kids my age because I'm constantly surrounded by adults."




• "Sometimes men are scared of me. You become a kind of an icon on television, and people are a little bit unsure, careful. It's funny."




• "People seem confused about the idea of me going to school but I love learning. My course was about Shakespeare and we hardly did any of that at school. It was really exciting to read all the plays."




• "I like to play dark, offbeat, quirky characters."




• "I'm wondering when I'm going to stop being labeled the Next Big Thing and start being it."




• "I'm not one of these people really into the latest fetishes like yoga or the Kabbalah. I can't imagine anything worse than wearing a trendy red bracelet around my arm and running around saying, 'I'm at peace with myself."




• "I don't take myself too seriously on the set. I try to show that I have a spark!"
