If astrology is real, I guess I'm a pretty quintessential Virgo.

My social media world is detached from my friendship world. I'll have friends in real life that I don't follow on social media, because I don't really look at social media as the way of connecting to friends. For me, social media is like a business tool.

I changed my thinking on the whole subject of what it is to be attractive. It's fine, but I know that ultimately what I am and who I am is not cheekbones and a jawline, if you catch my drift. I ultimately know that who I am is not directly proportional to abs or straight teeth.

As a child, my sister and I had very fruitful imaginations, and I would think that I wanted to be one profession or I'd want to have this experience in life.

My mom is a pretty private person, and if I was making Snapchat videos of her all the time, I think, A, she would hit me, and B, she just wouldn't appreciate it. So I don't do it a ton.

I think Ralph Fiennes has had a really wonderful career; there's something sort of classic about him. He does a bunch of different projects, but he approaches the work from a very sort of artful way.

You have tours that go to certain parts of the world to see a specific type of bird, and then you come back to Hollywood, and you see tour vans that go around in hopes of catching a glimpse of Halle Berry going out to get a newspaper.

A little while ago, I had this realization that so much of my happiness depended on what my career was looking like at that time, and that's, like, death of happiness right there.

I get recognized in the street really frequently, which is really shocking. I'm excruciatingly wary of any female under the age of 19. Even when some of them come up to me, they're usually very cordial, nice and polite.
