“My dad always said that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough.”
“I get recognized so much. It happens mostly when I'm in Starbucks.”
“I famously had a huge television producer say to me one time, 'Can you please stop doing that to your face? It's very distracting and unattractive.' And I was like, 'You mean move it? Okay, sorry, I guess we're not going to work together.'”
“I have to remind myself constantly to not be antisocial, because I stay to myself a lot. I'm a lot more introspective than my characters.”
“It's interesting, the things you learn when you're 21. I learned never to get tattoos in the middle of shooting a movie. Because if you're not Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox, they will fire you.”
“Some of the craziest people I've met, in my life, are some of the most brilliant people I've met.”
“You know, I like to think that I'm a really strong, tough person, but I'm not. I'm a very, very needy person. I'm very insecure. I'm very impressionable.”
“I'd never put all my chips anywhere, because I don't want to close any doors, but I was raised in a very blue-collar family.

“I think God's wrath and purgatory are the only things keeping me on the straight and narrow. I like the idea of purgatory. It's like a cosmic do-over.”
“I'm a bit insane when it comes to doing my own stunts and getting down and dirty. It's fun, you know? It's things I wouldn't normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.”
