"There are plenty of moments on stage where you think, "If one of my boobs just fell out right now..." "I feel comfortable as a young woman - a young, modern, liberal person. I feel comfortable with my sexuality. However, I am protective of my private life. I don't think that if you are in the public eye your life is public. I am an actor. But you can't take things too seriously." |
"I don't have a Facebook or a Twitter account, and I don't know how I feel about this idea of, "Now, I'm eating dinner, and I want everyone to know that I'm having dinner at this time," or "I just mailed a letter and dropped off my kids." That, to me, is a very strange phenomenon. I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than have to continuously share details of my everyday life. I guess they [celebrities] use it in a way that works for them. But I'd rather that people had less access to my personal life. If I could keep it that way, I'd be a happy lady."
"One of the most exciting thing about Avengers (2012), is that in my opening scene the first thing you see is my character getting punched in the face. Everybody's like, "Damn, it's nice to see a girl get the shit kicked out of her.".
