There’s something about the immediacy of acting. You can’t afford to think about a million other things. You have to think about the task at hand. Acting forces me to sort of be like a Zen master: What is happening right in this moment? - Emma Stone for The Wall Street Journal magazine (June 2015)
I think that when you meet someone for the first time you can feel a spark but not think they’re so great as a person. Then, as you get to know them, you can either be proven right or wrong. It’s a good ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ story.
"I’m actively working hard on learning to appreciate yourself no matter what. If what someone else says can easily derail you, it means your sense of self isn’t that firmly established in the first place. It’s an inside job. You’re beautiful and worthy and totally unique. People insult each other based on their own insecurities - even though it may feel personal, it really never is. Really."

If I feel strongly about anything, I get overwhelmed with emotion.
I won’t make a bucket list because I’m so afraid that I’ll die and then people will find my bucket list and be, like, “Oh, she didn’t get to do that.”
