On almost giving up acting…
“I had
this thing…where every time I thought, forget it, I’m not doing it anymore, I’m
tired of not feeling good enough, out of the blue, some movie I auditioned for
months ago would happen. Something would always pull me back to it, and it
would give me just enough confidence to carry on acting.”
On being compared to Jennifer Lawrence…
“I’m a
fan of hers, she’s made great movies and I love her as a human being, so I’m
not going to complain about that. She also has the most extreme circumstances,
she can’t go without being disturbed, and she handles it beautifully…I’d have
probably cracked by now.”
On dressing for the red carpet…
“It’s
imperative that you feel good when doing that…people would send me clothes,
then I’d get my hair and makeup done and feel miserable. For ages, I couldn’t
figure out why. But it’s because I felt like some weird painted doll. So now, I
like clothes that feel protective…I love design and it’s amazing to me how much
bad design is out there.”
On the success of Short Term 12…
“Short
Term 12 is a little guy. It doesn’t have any money behind it, or a
campaign. It’s got to this purely by people discovering it, and loving it and
telling other people. I didn’t think the Gotham award would happen, but then I
didn’t think I’d ever be 24…”
