It feels great to not be the acne-ridden outsider that I felt like when I was in high school. It's a lot more fun being alive now than it was then, I'll say that much.

My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.

I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.

I had a job at this French restaurant, and I hated it. I don't like serving; I don't like getting people ketchup.

The more you are positive and say: "I want to have a good life." The more you build that reality for yourself; by creating the life that you want.

The customer is not always right.

We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. Faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. Everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at Mom and Dad. That is what family is. Family is almost naturally dysfunctional.
