* On her brother Eric: “He’s the one who got me into acting. When we were in Paris, every time we sat down for a meal he would start questioning me, saying, “What are you going to do for a living? What do you think you want to do?” He was just being a good big brother. Because of my interests he decided that I should be a film producer. I did not want to be an actor because my whole family did it-going into the family business was the last thing I wanted to do. But then about a year later he was running lines with his friend and he talked me into going to this audition. I just did the first one to be nice because he was always so great to me, but then I ended up going to a few more auditions. I didn’t have an agent. I would just write down that I was with my brother’s agency, and then the agency would get calls and say that they had no idea who I was. But after a few auditions I got “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”, which was my first job”

* On her parents: “They were as involved in my life as any parents are in any person’s life. It was always important to them when I was growing up. I didn’t start acting until I was 16, but when I was a kid people always asked why I didn’t act like the rest of my family, and they would say, “Well, she needs a childhood! We would never allow her to do that even if she wanted to””

* On meeting Ben Affleck: “I had to be bold with you! I had to be brave because this role was terrifying. But it was all smoke and mirrors because I read the script and I didn’t know how I couldn’t do it. I loved this character so much. I was a little selfish in wanting to do it because I also thought, Well, maybe I’m not the best person for this, but I really want it. I didn’t know how to do a good Boston accent, so I went and got a dialect coach”

* On having a sex scene on the first day: “The sex scene was really awkward. It was my first day, so thank you for that”

* On Ben’s lack of being fashionable: “Well, people like you make me fashionable, because if there is no wrong there can be no right”

* On whose career she’d want: “People always ask me that and I always answer with men. Which is not to say that there aren’t incredible women in this business, but I feel like men are still given much better opportunities. I feel like there are so many people I admire for so many reasons that I can’t look at one person’s life and say, ‘I want that life.’ I want to make my own history”. More: interviewmagazine.com
