I struggle immensely with celebrities of all kinds. I get clammy hands and turn a little purple.
I'm really into sci-fi. I always have been. In addition to that, I've always had a tremendous fascination with the lure of the Apocalypse or Judgment Day or the Mayan calendar, etc., etc.
I'm not an NRA member, but that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate shooting blanks out of a machine gun.
I'm not going to lie. I rarely wear sunblock.
What I do is not go outside. My hobby is that I write, so if I'm not acting or being a mom, I'm writing.
My parents taught me many of the things that people need in life to feel confident: practical things, such as managing finances, mucking out the goat barn, cleaning a house, doing repairs, mending a broken roof or a toilet.
My parents would never throw the kids in first class for the flights; they'd be up front, and we'd be economy - we knew we were lucky just to be travelling.
Ours was a loving, nurturing household, but, at the same time, my parents' goal was to make all their children self-sufficient.
I want to be a good example for my son. That's the best way to parent - to be the example of what you want to see in them. That's definitely how my parents parented and how my grandparents parented. And it works.
I shouldn't have acted. I didn't exhibit any ability. I was one of the kids in the school play who was just mouthing words, and they weren't the actual words of the song. I was pretty lame!
I've always been, with acting, very hesitant to get myself into situations where I would be accused of nepotism.
When I started working, I just had my name be 'Bryce Dallas.'
I did a play in New York at the public theater, a Shakespeare play, and M. Night Shyamalan, who is the writer/director of 'The Village,' came and saw me in the play and asked to go to lunch afterwards.
There's something really freeing about playing a character that isn't even, like, remotely likeable whatsoever.
Actors are always nervous about not only hurting each other, but maybe perhaps hitting each other's face and ending one's career.
I want to be the best actor that I can be; I want to be working in this business absolutely, and if that means being a movie star, then OK, that's fine. But to me, movie star, celebrity, all that stuff means something very different than being an actor.
As far as what is the line between human and machine? That's a great question.
Yeah, I'm a little weird. I'm definitely a little eccentric.
I'm always looking at my brother and sisters, thinking - do we look inbred, maybe? Maybe a tiny bit.
I think what's exciting about playing a villain - particularly a villain who's totally unapologetic about their evil intentions - is that it's not anything remotely like what you get to do in real life. You're never allowed to be evil and not feel bad about it afterwards, let alone be evil, period.
