I went to drama school. I'm classically trained; I studied Shakespeare, blah blah blah. But I always preferred to do Oscar Wilde, or Shakespeare's comedies over his dramas. Elizabeth Banks blahclassicallycomedy Change image and share on social

Violence against women is real and something I feel passionately about, and the gateway to all that is wolf whistling.

I am not afraid of much. I kill all the spiders in my house, and I'm planning to go skydiving. I am into girl power, and I'm very self-sufficient. Elizabeth Banks afraidgirlhouse Change image and share on social

These properties that get made into movies, some are easier than others. When they first said, 'Yeah, they're making a movie out of Lego,' I said, 'Lego what? What does that even mean?' And it's such a good concept. Elizabeth Banks concepteasygood share on social
Some big actresses told me a few things that inspired me. One said that the biggest challenge for a female actress was to make sure they are not profoundly bored. Another told me to just do whatever you want - do anything. Elizabeth Banks actressbigbore share on social
I was an early adopter of the 'Hunger Games.' I read them before they were best sellers - I was on the pre-order wait list for 'Mockingjay' on Amazon. Elizabeth Banks adopteramazonearly Change image and share on social
