Kate Mara

Whenever I dream about flying, it's the best feeling in the world.

Even when I was a kid, I had this insane head of flaming hair. It looked like a wig.

Let's be honest: I just want a Super Bowl ring.

Eventually you get bored and you want to work.

Keeping your private life as private as possible is the smartest thing.

If 10 years ago I was told I'd be where I am now, I would've been pretty happy.

I've definitely become more aware and conscious of what directors I'm working with because it's so important. The director is really more than half the battle of the film. You really rely on that. That's become really, really important to me, for sure.

I have so many friends who have no idea what they want to do. They are out of college and working, but not sure they are doing what they want to do, which is normal.

When my agents tell me how much I'm going to be paid for a film, instead of quoting a figure, they'll say: 'You're going to make ten pairs of Christian Louboutins.'

I am so loyal.

I hated school.

Rooting for the offense is the safe way to go. You win either way.

I hate being in Los Angeles when it's football season. I want to be in New York. It just doesn't feel right if I'm away.

It's really nice to be in something that you really love and want to share with people. And then, for it to actually get shown and for people to be able to see it is awesome. It's really exciting.

I like traditions, and the national anthem is important.

I'm an idiot.

I remember telling the agent, 'I don't want to do anything but Broadway.' She was like, 'That's not really possible because there is not that much Broadway. So I'll send you out on TV and stuff like that.'

I wish no teams had cheerleaders. I find it more distracting than anything else.

I was excited to get the opportunity to sing something in a movie 'cause I love musicals and I would love to be able to do more movie musicals, in the future.

I feel like I'm exactly where I should be.
