My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.

Of course drugs were fun. And that's what's so stupid about anti-drug campaigns; they don't admit that. I can't say I feel particularly scarred or lessened by my experimentation with drugs. They've gotten a very bad name.

I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.

I have my television, my books and that becomes my little world.

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.

People say, "Why is it that you love to act?" And you want to say, "Well, most of acting is sitting in your trailer, either bored or worried about the scene coming up." A lot of it is about things you don't really like, so it's a wonder why acting is such a huge draw, why everyone loves it so much.
