I can say that I had a particularly painful teenage-hood.
— Kat Dennings
Any glamorous moment you might mistake me for having is always pretend.
People are ruthless, man.
There aren't as many girl superheroes, but there are cool ones. Banshee, for instance.
If you don't like me, it's your problem.
I really am pretty boring. There's no reason to take pictures of me.
I buy food and gasoline - that's it.
My first audition was for a commercial for the lottery. I didn't get it, so I hate the lottery.
I was a home-schooled kid, living in the forest, and I didn't even have cable. I'm serious.
I don't know, I like the word sassy.
There's stuff I don't like to rehearse, really emotional things, I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.
Quirky is what a guy would call a girl he doesn't understand.
I always hold doors open, I always try to be nice.
I have nothing to hide!
I'm a reclusive weirdo.
I've never dyed my hair, never fixed my teeth or gotten a tan.
I tried being anorexic for four hours, and then I was like, I need some bagels.
I wrote a script with my brother which ended up, somehow, on the Black List in 2008.
I don't die in anything!
Oh I'm a huge comic book movie fan.
If I had a robot friend, he or she would be electric.
I've played every instrument you could possibly think of for 10 minutes. So I'm mediocre at everything. I can play drums, guitar, piano, violin, saxophone, clarinet, flute... Just not well.
I'm still wearing Target and hand-me-downs.
I haven't actually studied acting at all.
I'm from Pennsylvania, so I was in New York a lot and my brother lives in New York.
I'm a very safe saver. I save everything. I save all my money and my parents raised me like that.
My mom took me to a Dolly Parton concert when I was 3.
I want to see as many movies as I can and I covet a lot of weird influential movies.
I don't really think about doing something kind, I think there's just a way to conduct your daily life with compassion to other people.
I was a very unique child.
I can watch a movie and go, 'Oh, my god, that person is acting.' If you just listen to what the other person is saying, your response will always be genuine.
I'm really nearsighted, which has served me well.
I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success, talent.
I've been really lucky.
I would love to do a period movie. I've always wanted to wear the corset, you know. It's a girl thing!
Although anything can happen when under the influence of ice water.
I don't think I've had a holiday in my entire life that wasn't about my dad's work.
I've never been in jeopardy, but being an actor is a pretty shady place to be because you never know where your next job is.
Actors make less than you think.
I wasn't a rebel.
People make the mistake of drinking the Kool-Aid, believing your own hype, letting people tell you you're this or you're that or you're too this.
I have friends who are so sarcastic but I never view it as mean.
I think you can tell when someone is being dishonest as an actor.
I was a Girl Scout!
I am very outspoken, obviously, and I should say that I can't judge anyone for doing anything.
The more unsettling the more I feel at home.
I'm really comfortable with myself.
