There are plenty of reasons to develop a crippling crush on Emma Stone. At the age of 21, she has partied with the cast of SNL, taken a Jonah Hill head butt in Superbad, and been taught the secret of the perfect margarita by Bill Murray. She lives in New York, works out of the Sunset Tower Hotel in L.A., and also happens to be stunning as a blonde—her natural color—or a redhead.

One could go on. But then she starts talking, and it gets worse. As she explains how she used PowerPoint to persuade her parents to let her go to Hollywood when she was only 15 (“I’d have been like, ‘Shut up, you little monster!’”) and recounts her educational experience (“I say, ‘Homeschooled,’ cross myself, and watch people freak”), you remember why you fell for the Zombieland star in the first place.

If there’s any justice, the world will follow when the teen comedy Easy A hits theaters this fall. Playing a nerd who pretends to sleep with geeks for money (and gets in too deep) proved what casting agents have suspected for a long time: The girl can hold a movie. “The business latches onto someone and puts ‘em in everything until they burn out,” she says. “My plan is to just keep working till they tell me to stop…and then beg SNL to let me join the cast.”
