Personal Quotes"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'." [In her scene on the top of the roof at The Amityville Horror (2005)].
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 dialogues 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', killing people. So I don't think I'll have that kind of
trouble.
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.
