I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry

I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I've been doing poetry as long as I've been acting.

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.

One of my good friends is Christian, goes to church every Sunday, very religious. I'm fine with that and I will never judge her.

I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry

As someone who was born and raised in Los Angeles, I was really interested in the idea of people who move here to get into the business, and some of them do become famous and then oftentimes they fall out of that fame in very terrible ways.

A lot of people think I'm cynical when I talk about acting. The truth of the matter is, I just don't want someone to get some lame advice that will send them in the wrong direction
