Emilie de Ravin

If you're getting ready to do a really emotional scene then, right before it, you're probably not going to be outside playing basketball.

I don't want to pigeonhole myself in one character or genre. I want to challenge myself as much as I can.

I really want to explore every genre that I can.

Once in a while, it's fun to dress up for a premiere. But I'm not someone that's going to stick on heels and a dress every day.

Shopping stresses me out.

I'm not very fit.

I miss my family so much. My ideal holiday is just to hang out with them.

'Twilight' and 'Remember Me' couldn't be more different.

When I go gray, I'm not going to be able to see it that much. I won't be salt and pepper: I'll be like salt and the white pepper you can buy.

I think no matter whether you're old or young or dying or living, to get to a place where you feel fulfilled and content is really rare and really cool.

I'm kind of a homebody. I like to sit at home and watch movies and eat good food.

I love New York. I've always loved New York.

Love is such an objective thing. I mean, I can say I love my family, or I love my Diet Coke. So I guess, in different ways, yeah, I do believe in love.

I get recognised, but I'm not the sort of person who frequents popular clubs. I try to keep out of that.

I do love children, but I don't really talk about that in auditions.

I think the simpler it is when you have a crazy character to play is almost more creepy and interesting.

I don't know if I really watched any Disney animation as a kid.

My earliest memory is seeing Michael Jackson in Melbourne with my sister when I was about ten. I still have this souvenir stick with a glove that would light up and make a peace sign in a bunch of different colors. I'm so happy my mom didn't throw that out.

I'd like to play with a period piece. Playing a girl next door in 2010 is so different from playing one in 1950, the way you talk, walk, dress, relationships. It's really fun studying all that.

I always felt like I was born in the wrong time period. I felt like I should've been born in the mid-to-late '40s.

I always try and take something from each job.
