Chloe Grace Moretz Quotations

My mom gives me an allowance. She keeps me pretty tight-reined.

I love getting told no 'cause then I fight even more.

I beat Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in one day.

The problem with me is, anything that's easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I'm 14 - my mom is super-strict about that.

I was raised to think cursing makes you look unintelligent.

I actually work at my craft, and I actually want to be the best in my category, and I want to be a true actress. And a lot of people just want fame, and there's a huge difference.

I hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life, if I can.

I have a lot of looks but right now I'm really into grunge. Messy hair, black heels. I get Michelle Pfeiffer with it.

It's a good harsh reality, because my family keeps me very grounded.

No matter how big you are in the business, at the end of the day it's still work.

I'm not up for violence, just for fun.

A lot of people are like, 'So you want to be famous.' And I'm like, 'No, I want to be good at my craft. I don't care about fame, I don't care if I even ever make it. As long as people know what I am as an actress in this business, I'm set for my career right now.

I'm a very competitive girl. In everything I do.

An actor always goes to the safe side.

Everyone around me is so strict about keeping me grounded.

Well, I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. I actually want to get a tattoo when I'm older of something about her.

I wore my first pair of Louboutins during this press tour. It was absolutely amazing, they weren't heels, they were little shoes, but they were velvet and they were blue.

You go up for hundreds, thousands of roles, and you get told no, no, no, so many times.

My mom has always said that if I get a big head, she'll take me out of this business as quickly as I got into it.

My mum reads every script before I go for it.

I'm not allowed to see R-rated movies, but I did see 'Kick-Ass' because I'm in it. I'm not going to skip out on my own premiere!

My mom won't let anyone treat me like a little princess.

My mom's the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I'm a lump of clay and she's moulding me into a woman.

The best thing about having four big brothers is you always have someone to do something for you.

When I've done gymnastics, ballet or soccer - I was always trying to be the best. I'm really driven. Really driven.

I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister.

I hope to make acting my career for the rest of my life, if I can. If acting doesn't work out I'd love to produce, direct, or write. I just want to stay in this business. That would be my number one thing. I always want to be an actress.

I love going to Topshop, Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, I'm in love with their jackets.

I love the spontaneity of plays and of being onstage, because that's an energy that you can't really fabricate in movies.

I've played a lot of fathers in my life, and it seems that my kids are getting older and older in films, and I'm always surprised at how good they are.

If you read the novel, you have expectations. And, if you've seen something first, it's just hard to do.

I choose every role, in association with the other ones. I try not to do one thing, over and over and over again.

On set, I like to be treated just like a normal adult actor. We all put as much time and effort into our craft as adults, and maybe even more because we have school to do and a lot of things to figure out.

My brother Trev went to the Professional Performing Arts School in New York, and he used to do his monologues and stuff and rehearse in our apartment. So I used to hear him all the time doing these things over and over and over. And when I was a little girl, I used to soak up everything - like anything anyone did, I soaked it up.

My mom won't let me buy high-fashion stuff unless it's TK Maxx or a birthday occasion.

I always want to be an actress.

Of all the characters I've played, I relate the most to Isabel in Hugo. She's so adventurous and fun. She just loves reading books and those are her adventures. Isabel is a heightened version of my personality.

I don't let [my friends] visit me filming and I don't bring them to premieres. It's a different head zone - when I'm on set, I'm working. When I'm just with my friends, I can just hang out, do normal stuff and generally be a complete idiot. It's the same with everyone.

I come from the mind-set that, if you want it to work, it will work, whether it's a friendship or a relationship. If you're both in the same mind-set and you want to be together and you want to make it work, you can make it work. It just takes dedication and knowing that there might be some miscommunication and lack of communication sometimes.

I have quite a normal family and I'm bored with how normal my family is. I want to mess stuff up a bit. I chose the messed up characters because I find that that's acting. I want to explore emotions that you otherwise wouldn't be able to explore.

I've always followed my heart. With every project that I've ever chosen, it's been something that I felt I couldn't live without, and that I couldn't spend another day of my life not knowing that I didn't do that role, gave my all to that role, and gave all of my emotions and soul to it.

I've been working since I was five years old, and everyone in my life, outside of my family, would look at us and go, "You're crazy! Take your kid out of the business and put them in school because you're never gonna succeed."

I started acting when I was five years old. I found it randomly, through listening to my brother study monologues. I auditorally started memorizing them for no reason, and started repeating them to anyone who would listen to me. I begged my mom to let me do whatever that meant because I couldn't put into words exactly what that meant. It just meant me happy. And then, when I was 11 years old, I realized what I was doing and I looked to my mom and said, "Can I make this for the rest of my life? I think I might want to do this forever."

My mom was always like, "If I know that my kid is having fun, she's gonna do whatever she wants. Whether that's gymnastics, learning the car, acting or just being a normal kid, she's gonna do what makes her happy." That's how I've always lived my life.

I live a very privileged life. I'm an accomplished actor, I have a very solid normal family, tons of siblings, and a mother that loves me.

I think a lot of things can be misconstrued in a lot of ways. And I think if people open their minds more, and they try to look deeper into something than just something that is a very big, hot, fiery button to hide behind...I think if people looked into something bigger that I was trying to speak upon, they wouldn't be so easy to fire back silly, miscellaneous things.

On social media, like on Instagram and stuff that I post, and the way that I view myself, and portray myself on there, that's definitely a much more personalized take. I'm not collaborating with people to make that, it's my own social media platform in which I'm - it's not a character, it's just me.

There's such a stigma around girls' periods, and women's sexuality - girls can't speak out for themselves or be who they want to be. I think that coming from the social platform that I have, I try to be a positive influence, and this was something that I felt needed to be seen and heard.

I've gotten a lot of young gay kids come up to me and talk to me about how the little things I've said in the press has helped them come out to their parents, or just be open with who they are, and feeling invigorated by that. So that honestly means a lot to me to hear that the things that I say in the press, they do hear, and they see, and it helps them at least to start the conversation.

I've always chosen the roles that aren't the direct lead because I like being a very poignant character in the story, rather than being seen in every single seen.

As Chloe, I can honestly say I've never uttered a syllable of a curse word, not even behind closed doors.

I follow the most random people on Twitter. I follow famous people like Khloe Kardashian, who surprisingly makes really funny tweets all the time.

When you're a pilot, and you know all the ways to survive an airplane crash and how low the chances are, you feel safer.

It's hard to confront someone without knowing, [but] I think the first thing you should do in a relationship - any kind of relationship - is confront. Then, if they seem shady, maybe go for the email or the text message.

I just got my phone back yesterday. My mom had it for two days. I was supposed to read a book and I really wanted to play Call Of Duty.

If I'm talking to a photographer, I'm talking to a stylist, I'm talking to a makeup artist, we're kind of creating and collaborating and making something that is artwork and is special and is different.

I can't stand [female] characters that are not empowered in a certain way, or at least don't come to a conclusion at the end of the movie where they find empowerment in themselves.

I have learned never to judge any of the characters that I portay. Sometimes that is difficult to do because as a human being we tend to make judgements when we find out information about people and situations. In order to bring a character to life, though, I find that I cannot judge her or I won't be true to her.

I think the best roles are in dark movies. It's roles that aren't you. It's fun playing someone that's not me. If I'm playing me all the time, then it's not acting. It's just being yourself.

When you come from a privileged household, we've been able to buy monthly feminine products since the first day that we got our periods. A lot of women out there have absolutely no means to be able to afford something that seems as simple and as much of a no-brainer as a feminine product. I think Monthly Gift has a really brilliant cause - giving underprivileged girls free feminine products every month.

I did about 50 pull-ups and 1,000 crunches a day. Crazy.

I'm an average, everyday girl.

I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than our bodies.

When you're in relationships with people, not every relationship is the same and not every love that you find is the same. The love that you get from each person is totally different. You learn, from each relationship, that there are many different ways that you can love someone.

As an actor you always want to be challenged and you always want to have someone tell you you can't do something, because I always want to be like "I can do it and I'll show you I can, and I'll do it better than anyone can".

I'll date one day if I find someone that I want to let into my life enough.

I hate when things are sugar-coated. I'd rather have the ugliest truth than the best lie.

Don't front, don't put something out there that you feel isn't realistic and doesn't portray who you are. Just be yourself, be you, and don't be afraid to speak your mind.

If acting doesn't work out I'd love to produce, direct, or write.

My brother Trevor is theatrically trained. I used to watch him when I was younger and I was in love with it. It just seemed really fun to be someone else. So I begged my mom; she was hesitant, but she eventually allowed me. And it turned out well, I guess.

Turning 16 is kind of scary because when you're 16, you go from being a kid and then you can drive and are more of a young adult in a way.

Think about doing a bunch of stunts in leather. What does leather do? It doesn't stretch, it rips.

The one thing my mom will let me get is a nice shoe sometimes.

If I ever uttered one word that I said in 'Kick-Ass', I would be grounded for years! I'd be stuck in my room until I was 20! I would never in a million years say that.

I did about 50 pull-ups and 1,000 crunches a day. Crazy.
