Hayden Christensen

I try to stay away from the L.A. scene as much as possible. I feel it helps me to better prepare for my roles if I am not too involved in that whole thing.

I have two sisters and a mother, obviously, so I grew up with a household of girls. Maybe I have a greater respect for women because of it.

One of the things I find about acting is that the less the audience knows about the actor, the more they're able to believe in him in the role.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.
