Emily Meade

I am very harsh on myself. I can point out a list. My nose is very strange. I have a very round face. I sound so ungrateful. Obviously I'm being hard on myself. Whether it's body dysmorphia, or whatever it is, I can always find something wrong. ”

I have been considerably picky for somebody who's not a movie star, and sometimes I get frustrated. ”

I can be very stubborn, cold, strict, rigid, and - I'd like to think - driven. ”

I'm still stuck in the '90s in a lot of ways. ”

I was traumatized by the cartoon version of 'The Hobbit.' It's not supposed to be scary, I don't think, but literally I think that's the most scared I've ever been. ”

I don't want fame as far as the tweeting or the image of it. But, the idea of being famous is actually exciting to me, just because then you can have a choice in what you do. I would like to be at a point where I'm not asking for parts anymore, and I'm actually just choosing between a part that I want to do. ”

The funniest thing is I never understood why actors were so shady about who they're dating. Then I realized the things you say get printed and the people you're involved with read them. That's what's tricky. Nothing goes unnoticed. I don't want to get myself in trouble! ”

I usually get cast in more dark, dramatic things, and I would love to do something more comedic. ”

My first love was Heath Ledger. ”

I've never felt fully able to sustain myself because I've run out of money many, many times, and it's been scary. ”
