- [on We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)] My agent sent me the script and I went into a sort of wrathful, thirsting pursuit. I immediately became ravenous, and I just started pursuing it like a stalker.
- [on We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)] If there's one ambiguity that I feel comfortable clearing up, it's that I never for a second was thinking about how to portray someone innately evil.
- I don't feel like there's any need to hide the fact that I smoke pot. It's a harmless herbal substance that increases sensory appreciation. (2012)
- [discussing their sexuality in a 2012 "Out" Magazine interview] I'm queer. I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular. I've been trying to figure out relationships, you know? I don't know if it's responsible for kids of my age to be so aggressively pursuing monogamous binds, because I don't think we're ready for them. The romanticism within our culture dictates that that's what you're supposed to be looking for. Then [when] we find what we think is love--even if it is love--we do not yet have the tools. I do feel that it's possible to be at this age unintentionally hurtful, just by being irresponsible--which is fine. I'm super down with being irresponsible. I'm just trying to make sure my lack of responsibility no longer hurts people. That's where I'm at in the boyfriend/girlfriend/zefriend type of question.
- [on their heritage and religion, in a 2012 Haaretz interview] My father is Jewish, my mother is not, but I consider myself entirely Jewish even though according to Jewish law I am not. I encourage everyone to understand that the rules [of Jewish matrilineal descent] were written before anyone could do DNA tests... I know that I am a descendant of Abraham through my father... I definitely plan to [visit Israel].
