I'm still a student of fashion, but I like hooking up with the people that really know how to make cool clothes.

All actors should experience public failure.

There are so many young women in film school right now, and it's just about foreign sales companies, domestic sales companies agreeing to finance films directed by and starring women.

I'm opening up my heart to the idea of dating. It's funny - my friends would always come to me for romantic advice. I know nothing, and things have changed since I was dating in high school! I'm really trying hard to spend this time working on myself.

It's so important to have that independence. You know it yourself: Everyone needs evenings of their own.

I think that women are more sensitive to emotional infidelity than men. I think men are more scared of physical infidelity.

I went through a phase when I was 13 where I would only fall in love with people over the age of 19 or 20.

When you a darker brunette and have pale skin like I do, it can wash you out a bit, so learning to contour is really helpful. I think you can be a bit more bold with eye makeup to define your eyes, and the same with lip colors - you can go for dark wine colors, which I love.

You realize when you're pregnant how lucky you are to have access to medical care.

I fell in love with theater there, and after graduation I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

My dad is Irish. I spent my childhood going back and forth between Ireland and America.

I have very high standards for every part of life - my work, my relationships, food, love. I can't just pretend.
