- About filming Snow White…“It is so surreal.  Everyone calls me “Snow” on-set and I’m working with Julia Roberts!”

-About The Blind Side…“When I got that movie, no one on-set expected it to do what it did, so there wasn’t that pressure of it being a huge budget movie.  It’s almost better that I didn’t get cast in something that had so many expectations from the get-go.”

- About her upcoming film Abduction… “I never thought in a million years I’d be doing stunts, flying off trains, setting people on fire, running through swamps at night, but it’s fun and I love taking chances.”

- About Karl Lagerfeld...”I heard talk at the table he was leaving and I hadn’t met him yet.  So I grabbed the PR person, and remember sprinting through the Met Museum in my Chanel dress and huge Chanel shoes just to say hello to him.”

- About fall fashion...”I’m into big sweaters, and cool combat boots.  I love mixing and matching things.  Autumn/winter is great, because you’re able to mix feminine and masculine.  Cool army jackets with dresses, tights and boots.  I love having that masculine, edgy touch but being flirty and fun at the same time.”
