Julia Garner

'When Harry Met Sally'... is probably my favourite movie.

If you feel like you're doing terrible in a scene, that usually means that you're not listening because you're too preoccupied with yourself... you're not listening to your scene partner. If you listen, you're naturally going to get that response that the camera's going to pick up because you just react.

I just want to continue to learn as an actor and as a person.

You have to add some sort of dimension to each of your characters because everyone has their own layers.

I'm from Manhattan. I'm some Jewish girl from the Upper West Side.

I hate rodents. I cannot stand rodents. I couldn't even watch 'Ratatouille,' which is an animated film.

I think the hardest thing about doing an accent, especially with a Missouri accent, is making sure that you're not mumbling with the words so your diction is clear.

I'm very good in letting things go; there's always new things, and I'm a big believer in 'everything happens for a reason' kind of thing.

When a child knows there's a secret, they don't know what it is, but they know it's there, and they know they're being lied to.

There were no secrets in my house. I always knew what was going on.

If a person feels like 'They're not acknowledging me'... That's a very important feeling in life, even if it's not romantic.

I started taking acting classes when I was 14. That's when I knew I wanted to try it professionally. Before that, I watched movies, always, but I didn't think it was a real job. I watched Turner Classic Movies with my parents. I've always loved the old classics.

I think Matthew Rhys is great. I think he's a phenomenal actor.

My first film festival and my first film that I've ever been in, 'Martha Marcy May Marlene,' that was at Sundance.

I didn't grow up, really, in the film business, even though my parents are both artists. I grew up in New York City. They would never put me into acting. I just kind of wanted it, and I told them that.

If you really love something, just continue doing it.

I love romantic comedies so much.

Every part that I do has to be different from the last part that I did so I don't become a stereotype.

I'm the worst liar - I can't lie for my life. And I don't lie at all, because I'm the worst liar - but as a kid, I thought I was a great liar, so I would lie all the time, but everybody knew I was lying.

I loved old movies. And I like imitating people.

I remember my mom being very scared the first few auditions. My parents are very supportive, but they're also very realistic, which is great.

'Beetlejuice' used to scare me.

I have a journal, and every character that I play, I write as the character: how I feel about things and how I'm going to play it.

People are intrigued but also scared about things that are uneasy.

I do weird parts - there's always something wrong with my character, or they are in a really weird situation.
