Personal Quotes (17)



[on her scene on the top of the roof at The Amityville Horror (2005)] This one day I was playing and I was swinging and I had my wires on and I flew off the edge and then I [panicked]. But they said, "You're fine. You have wires on.".

My mom has always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it.





If I ever uttered one word that I said in Kick-Ass (2010), I would be grounded for years! I'd be stuck in my room until I was 20! I would never in a million years say that. I'm an average, everyday girl; when I act with my friends, I'm totally immature, I have to go to bed at 9:30, and, if I'm up late on the computer, I lose it for two months.

I hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life, if I can. If acting doesn't work out I'd love to produce, direct, or write. I just want to stay in this business. That would be my number one thing. I always want to be an actress.





[on her stunts in Kick-Ass (2010)] I had amazing people training me. It was easy because I'd done ballet and gymnastics before. It all kind of went together and basically all of it was me. It was a really great thing.



[on playing Hit Girl in Kick-Ass (2010)] It's a role - it's not meant to be taken as real-life. I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent. As Chloe, I can honestly say I've never uttered a syllable of a curse word, not even behind closed doors.



[on going to Kick-Ass (2010)] I strongly advise no one under the legal age of 18 to see it.



I think Mr. Martin Scorsese looked at me as a daughter figure because he has a daughter who is, like, 12 years old... he was very fatherly towards me.



In my age range, there's not many people to date... maybe Ryan Gosling ... we could just drive around.

When I was a little girl, I used to soak up everything... I would soak up like these huge, dramatic dialogs and start spewing them all the time.





When you do a lot of kid movies, that can be a problem. You were a little sister type, and then all of a sudden you're a prostitute and people don't like it. Unless, like Jodie Foster , that's how you start off. And I'm similar because the first time anyone really saw me was in Kick-Ass (2010), killing people. So I don't think I'll have that kind of trouble.

[regarding the bullying of her family via Twitter] I have two gay brothers and two straight brothers, and my gay brothers were treated horrifically until they grew up and understood how to deal with it. I will delete you, and I will block you, and you will not be a part of my life if you ever say anything bad about my brothers. My mom has always taught us that blood is thicker than water. No one will ever understand the dynamic of your family. Ever. We are the closest family ever and we are the most insane family ever. It may look weird to others, but to us, it's life.



[on her parents' divorce and her mother's cancer diagnosis] It made me realize, along with everything that happened with my dad, that your parents aren't these godly figures. They're not chosen by the heavens. They're humans. Their bodies can fail and they can die at any moment. They make mistakes. They cry. They fight. It definitely, from a young age, put everything into perspective for me.



A lot of people are like "So you want to be famous." And I'm like "No, I want to be good at my craft. I don't care about fame, I don't care if I even ever make it. As long as people know what I am as an actress in this business, I'm set for my career right now." I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.



I've been in tons of movies when I was younger and the lead was really mean, or she didn't really care. I think when you're the lead, you've got to boost the morale a little bit and keep the crew and everyone together. When you don't have someone doing that, everything falls apart. It's not a hard thing to do, to not be mean and appreciate what you're doing. It's not a case of, "You're welcome - I showed up." It's, "No honey, you get paid to show up, do your job, sleep, wake up and do your job again!". We all do that, and just because you're the one in front of the camera, it doesn't matter.





[press conference at Cannes Film Festival for Clouds of Sils Maria (2014)] My first attraction to the project was Olivier (Assayas) because I had seen Carlos ( Carlos (2010)) a couple of years before, and I totally fell in love with it and I thought it was such a magnificent film and obviously to work with Olivier in not only any project but specifically a very French project with Juliette (Binoche) would be so special, because I think there's something so much more innovative about French cinema than American cinema - because it's new and it's alive and there's something that is very raw about it that we can't quite capture in America yet.

One of my pet peeves is when people brush their teeth in my sink and they leave the toothpaste in the sink. It makes me so viscerally angry.
