I have never studied acting, yet the very first time I went for an audition and did a cold reading, I surprised everyone with my honesty and transparency. They told me that I could play any part, because I do not have walls, I do not place obstacles between myself and the character I have to play

I’m just so sick of these young girls with diets. I remember when I was 13 and it was cool to pretend to have an eating disorder because there were rumors that Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie were anorexic. I thought it was crazy. I went home and told my mom, “Nobody’s eating bread, I just had to finish everyone’s burgers”. I think it’s really important for girls to have people to look up to and feel good about themselves.

“When I’m not working, I am the laziest person. I can literally lie on a couch and watch television for 15 hours. I hate people who say, “Oh, I’m addicted to working out”. I just want to punch those people in the face.”

I don’t know if this is why everything has worked so well and I’m not sure I’d recommend this kind of thinking to anyone else, but I’ve always known I’d be successful in acting. I have certainly worked for it.

“She speaks her mind. If she’s unhappy, she says so. If she’s happy, she says so. She doesn’t take anyone’s bullshit – excuse my French. She’s so normal. She wins an Oscar and the first thing she does is put her finger up to the press." — Sam Claflin on Jennifer Lawrence

"There’s this crazy woman inside of me and I just let her go." — On playing Rosalyn Rosenfeld in “American Hustle
