Quotes

“I’m very fortunate to have the privilege of working with directors like Bill Condon and Paul Thomas Anderson, who I think is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.”

“My sister is an ER doctor, and my brother is a teacher.”

“Being on a Paul Thomas Anderson film, the best decision an actor can make is to listen to Paul Thomas Anderson. Because he’s probably not going to steer anyone in the wrong direction. I would always say go with your gut on any other movie set, but with Paul, I would say go with Paul’s gut.”

“Mara Casey gave me my first job. I saw something online, and it was for a part in a Gilmore Girls episode, and I thought I was right for it.”

“All you ‘Twilight’ fans, can’t thank you really enough for being so supportive. You’re real cool people.”

“I would say ‘The Master’ was one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever got to work on.”
