On social media bullying:
After trolls called 14-year-old sister Grace “ugly” on Instagram, she decided to take action. Part of her response was to go without retouching in a T-shirt and underwear for an Aerie ad campaign. "You can put yourself out there and not Photoshop yourself or Facetune yourself," she tells Allure. She wanted "to say, 'Oh, I looked bad in that picture, but that was such a fun day.'"
On taking inspiration from her Aunt Julia:
She found her love of moviemaking on the set of Erin Brockovich, saying: "I'd run and hide in her makeup trailer and hear, 'Where's Emma? It's time for bed! She has to go home! I remember it feeling like summer camp, just the feeling of creativity."
On bouncing back after a breakup:
When her engagement with actor Evan Peters ended, she replaced her old ring with three new ones. She says they remind her of her mother’s advice: "Always love yourself, and always know what you're worth."
