I'm Always Curious About How Actors Cry

My Entire Film Career's Been Dependent On My Ability To Look Unattractive.

Because The World Of This Film Begins And Ends In The Imagination Of Tim Burton, You're Not Seeing A Movie That's Been Shot On Locations That You've Seen A Million Times. Because This World Has No Rules, You're Seeing So Many Different And Separate Brushstrokes And Colors And Characterizations Somehow Getting Combined Through Tim.

Taking A Year Off And Going To School Was The Best Thing I Could Have Done After 'the Princess Diaries.' It Taught Me That I Don't Need Hollywood Or A Job To Make Me Happy.

My Mom (kate Mccauley) Is An Actress, So I Guess She's The One That Taught Me It Was A Possibility. For As Long As I Can Remember, I've Always Played Make-believe ... It's Something That I've Always Done, That I've Always Been Comfortable Doing.

After Princess Diaries, I Was Labeled A Good Girl, And For The First Eight Years Of My Career I Had To Fight To Get Any Other Kind Of Role. But I Like Fighting For A Job, Actually. Once You Get It, You Feel Like You've Emerged Victorious From The Scrap And You're Like, "ok, This One's Mine. Did It. Done."
