What I wasn't used to was being in front of the camera.

When I work on a film, I always tend to relate to the crew.

The Village did a lot for me, of course, because it was my first movie.

I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we're advanced in every way except in our humanity.

Girls can do anything, for sure. Even running in the mud in heels.

That is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life, running through the jungle in heels. Because also, mud was often times three feet deep, and that was full on for sure.

Right now as an artist, what I want to do is be a part of works that are unignorable. I couldn't be less interested in how people receive it, honestly. As long as it's unignorable.

The clearer that division [of social media] is between it not being a reflection of reality, and being a complete make-believe world, the more we're helping ourselves.

You can't become another person if you're not self-aware.

If someone down-votes you, or you don't get a like, or someone says something not cool, you project onto it the person or the people who have hurt you the most in life.

It was such a paradox for me that the only thing I know how to do is act, but that the first thing I abandoned while writing were the characters

V had a passing thought that she used the word "anyway" like an eraser on a crowded chalkboard. She said it whenever she needed to clear off the things she'd just shared to make room for more.

There's our excuse... we'll blame everything on the round-headed kid!

Happiness is not in wealth or splendor, but in passion, perception, and pursuit.

Thank you for loving me like you love me. Thank you for showing me that we don't always have to be strong to be there for each other--that it's okay to be weak, so long as we're there.

Money wont make you happy but if you insist on being miserable, you may as well be rich...

Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn.

The cauliflower soup sounds so good. And the broccoli-melt sandwich. I've never heard of such a thing.

If you put a Van Halen album in your record collection, it will melt all the rest of your records.

The reality is that when three or four networks are at the table with three or four political parties, someone is going to be the victim.

Having one perfect thing was less important than having a range of ideas, realizing they were all taking you in a certain direction.
