Recently, I've really responded to books that bring the magic of childhood back to us as adults.

I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.

Most people don't walk around knowing what other people think about them, and I don't think it's healthy to know what faceless strangers who you'll never meet say about you.

I love the solitude of being on a plane and finally getting to read an entire book and being left alone.

Our society doesn't want to help girls like that [in Black Snake Moan]. They just want to use them.

I tend to fight for something that I believe in.

I've never been to a race car race before.
