My feeling about growing up in New Jersey was, 'How come I'm not in New York?' That being said, I'm older and I have a better worldview now, and so I think I grew up in an incredibly privileged position. The town I grew up in is beautiful. I got a great education, and I'm very grateful for it.

I had a dream. And it came true.

My entire film career's been dependent on my ability to look unattractive.

But you have to remember in life that there's a positive to every negative and a negative to every positive.

I'm not one of those stars that goes out and literally dresses to be photographed.

What I've observed and what I've imagined - and definitely what I'm hoping - happens as you get older is that there's a mellowing, an acceptance that comes with time. I guess that I'll find out.

A bad love experience is no reason to fear a new love experience.
