Actress

I'm a huge fan of Steve Martin. He's hilarious, but he has this depth to him and this way of dealing with the difficult things in life with a sense of humor that I think has helped me as an actress.

'True Detective' did change my career.

I feel like now my kids can run around and say, 'My mom was the Rock's daughter.' I don't have kids yet, but my future children - I just feel like it's the coolest thing ever.

It's cool to be a female character who gets to be really strong and tough.

'Gremlins' is one of those eternal movies that stands the test of time and that everyone loves and knows.

I was lucky because when I'd done 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,' I had to have extensive weapons training.

When I first moved here, I almost felt like I was obligated to hate L.A. as a New Yorker. I moved way too fast for this city. I walked everywhere, and I was lonely, too. It was a really hard time not knowing anybody, and you don't run into people the way you do in New York. You can go a week without seeing anyone.

When I have no appointments, I spend the day in pajamas and go to the dog park in pajamas. I'm very casual.

I love stories about people that, whatever situation they're in, you can relate to them in a way.

It's really amazing to see what you imagined brought to screen.

Now that I have a dog, I frequently have to take him out and get some exercise, which also gets me exercise.

For whatever reason, I am just very attracted to mystery stories, solving mysteries. I was a huge fan of 'The Jinx.' That's such a satisfying show because it's all... I don't want to give it away to anybody, but it's really amazing.

My favorite go-to is Topshop. They have great stuff.

I didn't expect anything crazy to happen from 'True Detective.'

I really like Rag & Bone because they make simple pieces that last.

My mom used to model when she was younger, before she went to law school, and I think she thought it was pretty cool. I think my parents saw that acting ultimately made me happy, even though it was a rough ride for a little bit.

I wasn't all that familiar with the 'Texas Chainsaw' franchise, and I knew who Leatherface was, but I had never seen any of the films, so I didn't know what the meaning behind it was.

My mom wears a lot of gold.

I Instagram and tweet a lot about my dog. I think he is one of the most interesting things about my life right now. All my motherly instincts go toward this dog. I love the dog.

If you had told me ten years ago that I would be able to go and make out with Will Forte one day and then Woody Harrelson the next, it would have blown my mind.
