Quotes

• (on plans for the future) If I came out with a club hit, if I were singing duets with Jesse McCartney, I think people would get the wrong idea. I’m not interested in fashion design. I’m an actress, and that’s all I want to focus on. For me, that’s just more fulfilling.

• (About the 2008 film Mamma Mia! (2008)) I had never seen the stage show. When I first heard about the audition, I was like, “Damn, I’m not Greek!” I thought it was about this big Greek family.

• I do feel like I’ve grown up. Living by yourself in two cities, having a relationship, the Hollywood stuff. It forces you to deal with things as an adult.

• (On playing the lead role in Mamma Mia! (2008)) It doesn’t really get better than this. I’m afraid I’m going to just have to beg Meryl to do another movie with me. She’s so in touch with herself. I know that comes with age, but I’m really excited to figure out who I am.

• I’ve auditioned for roles that involved voice, but I don’t like it. I feel like, I can’t do this in front of you. It seems so separate – I don’t share it with a lot of people. And I’m not into public performances.

• (about being in a polygamous marriage) I don’t think I could share, no. I don’t think I would trust. I want to be the most important thing in my husband’s life. It’s just weird. It’s not natural.

• It’s really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don’t hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don’t do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

• People do judge you, and there are stupid rivalries. You have to wear the right things, because there are all these girls my age competing for the same roles. They’re judging me and I’m judging them. I try not to be that way, but sometimes I am.

• Leo DiCaprio inspired me to a point where I feel like this is probably the reason that I’m here today doing what I’m doing.

• Hopefully [people] will see me as an actress instead of just, like, a sweetheart. Not every 8-year-old is going to be able to watch every movie I make and [love] every character that I play. Some variety is really what I need and what I’ve been able to attain with ‘Chloe.’
