IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

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.

A lot of young poets today, from what I've heard and experienced, can't get their heads past George W. Bush, and I've heard so many poems about this democracy and this era of politics that I'm kind of bored by it

I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that

I have tons of jewelry. I like to wear a lot of it

I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you

A business like acting is 90% luck. You can be a star one minute and out of work the next
