On whether she has to like a character to play her (referring to her Mavis role in 'Young Adult'):
"I liked Mavis, but no, I dont think I need to like my characters. I do think empathy is very important. Its crucial to understand circumstance and story to grasp the role in a truthful manner. Your characters are like your children: Sometimes they make you proud, and other times, you think, Oh, really?! In Young Adult, I wanted to show some cringe-worthy moments that only women will get."
On whether she was always tall and blonde and beautiful:
"For the first eight years of my life, I didnt have front teeth. I was pretty sick as an infant, and antibiotics rotted them. But then I started to take dance classes, and I eventually got some teeth [laughs]. When I was 16, I went to Milan to model."
On whether she always dreamt of being an actress:
"I wanted to be a ballerina, but I was too tall, and I had too many injuries. What I loved as a ballerina was telling stories, and I could also do that with acting, so I eventually moved to L.A."
On her audition for '2 Days in the Valley':
"I remember I was in a catsuit. Id never auditioned before, and I almost brought a bottle of ketchup and squirted it all over myself for the scene where I got shot. I looked like a maniac. It was a dying scene, so I barged through the door and started crawling on the floor. I think they were too scared not to give me the role."
