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

Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.

My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.

If it comes back, I think that Friday night is not a good night to be on.

Right afterward I read Fast Food Nation. That book changed my life: It made me a vegetarian.

But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.

I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God
