As long as I can make an audience feel something, I don't care whether it's a good thing or bad thing, just to feel something is important to me.

You know, I've never been much of a method actor. I feel like, with every project I go in extremely prepared and I like to have a good time.

I don't like anything that's too confining. I'm sort of a control freak, so anything that makes me feel like I'm out of control is a bit uncomfortable. But you know how it is, sometimes it's good to live a little!

Some of the things I've seen a lot of my female-actress friends who are relatively famous receive - I've seen some hideous things. Like some really, really bad things... like, the FBI should be contacted immediately.

When I was 20, I thought I was 30 - but I was so far from it. When you're young, you want everything to happen now. As you mature, you can look back and see all the great things you achieved with time and patience.

The problem with TV now is that there's so much competition, that you're always on the chopping block.

A lot of people loved to hate my character on 24. I want to be the character people love to love.
