She's never been "affected" by fame and I've always appreciated that

    really great feature debut with woman of the hour. the relationship the women have with each other in the film in contrast to the men with the women is outstanding. all that while she keeps building up the tension/suspense with the killer on screen. really really great. i can't wait what she directs next.

    I love this lady! So talented and full of charisma that you can’t help but to watch; rather she’s portraying a character in a movie or promoting her career, such as this video above. It doesn’t matter.. you want to watch her. Great actress and human being!

    I liked how she describes her character in Twilight Saga. It's true that her character made the movies more humane and "real".

    Was hoping she would talk about her CAMP role. She was so devious in that movie.
