I didn't grow up watching a lot of TV.

I like the idea of accessibility, coming from a lower-middle-class background myself, I feel like beauty and products should be accessible to all women over the world.

Family is becoming more and more important to me.

I play a curator, the most American part you can think of. My work is to protect the Declaration of Independence. I work at the National Archives in Washington.

Looking back at it now, I really feel like it was a gift because I don’t know if I have the talent to become a prima ballerina. It’s such a hard job to have. I don’t have any regrets about it.

I am a better person when I let myself have the time for romance and for love.

What you wear is such an expression of who you are. That's like someone picking out who I'm going to date!

I do give myself a break in my personal life but I think in work, if you don't push yourself you get bored and want to do something else.

With modeling, you pose. You want to look your best all the time. With acting, you have to be aware of the camera, but the more you show your imperfections, the better you're going to be.

People always think I’m dainty when they meet me, but I’m really not. I’m very German – we’re not made out of sugar.

I don't believe in marriage. I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart. There's no paper that will make you stay.

Her eyes were full of hate. Full. And... at the same time, empty. Soulless. Like those horrible creatures she keeps around her. The dragon was frightening... but Maleficent, she was bone-chilling.

Own your mistakes. Even when you’re in the process ofscrewing up.

Preparing to go to school was like getting ready for extended deep sea diving.

I was in the air around him. I was in the cold mornings he had now. I was in the quiet time he spent alone. I was the girl he had chosen to kiss. He wanted, somehow to set me free. -Susie Salmon

I mean, I think that - as an actress, in particular, I'm basically a fool, and I see the world upside down.

I envy people who could just have one drink and not go look for cocaine afterwards.

I'm a firm believer in absolute honesty.

All beginnings are very troublesome things.

Can one make works which are not works of 'art'?

Bringing all 45 members of my crazy family together, and watching them argue is super awesome. It's good to do it just once a year.
