I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.

As a teenager, my favourite rejection was, 'She looks too healthy,' which of course translates as, 'She needs to lose weight.'

I'm a TV addict, and I personally really enjoy reality TV.

It's fun to be sarcastic, but now I'm able to express myself in a way that's much more sincere.

You always fear, when you're making a movie that has a moral to the story, that people are going to reject the idea of being taught a lesson...

I think I've had a fairly meandering career. Because I did start so young, I think that I've always chosen my parts based on what's interesting to me and what I think would be challenging or fun, or someone I've always wanted to work with or a place I've always wanted to work in or a topic.

We can use the romantic relationship as a microcosmic example. Until you really understand the other person and where they're coming from and you understand yourself and how you contribute to things, you can never make that relationship better. And I think sometimes people don't understand how much these things are related.
