QUOTES:

I don’t want to play the girlfriend who’s there because she’s the girlfriend. And. That’s. Her. Job. I want to play women and girls who are active and strong and who have a character arc and make decisions and have a rich background.

I went to my first school dance on the set of ‘Spider-Man.’ The funny thing is, it wasn’t actually real. I didn’t choose my dress or my date or anything about it. I just showed up for work.

I have my friends who like me because I’m me and not because I’m in films, and that’s really important to me. They tell me, ‘You look terrible; don’t wear that,’ or ‘That joke wasn’t funny,’ and that’s really important: they keep me grounded.

For me, the audition is always the hardest part of the whole process. Once you get on set, once you’re in costume, you’re with the director, it’s so much easier to get in the headspace.
