But then you do have the moment when you look out and you’re like, “Holy s—-. It’s Meryl Streep.” -Emma Stone talking about presenting at the Oscars

“You’re a human being, you live once and life is wonderful so eat the damn red velvet cupcake!”

Being dry is not my natural sensibility, so playing a dry comedy is really hard for me, which is why all my characters end up being total goofball loons.

“You’re only human. You live once and life is wonderful so eat the damn red velvet cupcake!”

“It was like I woke up when she came in. She was the last person to screen-test, and I was so bored of it by then that I was mucking about—I’d been pretending I was Tom Hanks or Seth Rogen. And then she came in, and it was like diving into white-water rapids and having no desire to hang on to the side. Throughout shooting, it was wild and exciting. I couldn’t help but try to stay with her, keep pace with her, and not let her get away. [Laughs] Like an animal preying on a smaller animal, but a wily smaller animal.”

TEEN VOGUE: And what was your first impression of her?

Andrew Garfield: It was like I woke up when she came in.

Emma Stone: [Giggling] Shhh. That is enough.

“What sets you apart can feel like a burden, and it’s not. A lot of the time, it’s what makes you great.”

When I was 14 -years-old, I made this PowerPoint presentation, and I invited my parents into my room and gave them popcorn. It was called ‘Project Hollywood 2004’ and it worked. I moved to L.A. in January of 2004.

“Confidence is the only key. I know a lot of people who aren’t traditionally ‘beautiful’ — not symmetrical or perfect-bodied or perfect-skinned. But none of that matters because all that shines through is their confidence, humor and comfort with themselves. I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.” – Emma Stone

So one day, in a fit of trying to do something different, I just dyed my hair dark brown and got my first role a week later, after which I thought: ‘People are closed-minded, man! Like a different hair colour changes everything!’

I’m a person who relies very heavily on intuition and feeling out the situation, so I’ve never really made a five-year plan or anything like that, if it’s right, it will fall into place and if not, I understand.

“When she came in the room, it all made sense. Show me someone that wouldn’t give it all up for Emma Stone, and I’ll show you a liar.” -Ryan Gosling
