You can't have a movie with a group of people that are significant players in the story, that push forward the plot, without introducing at least one or two of them.

As a filmmaker, you have to understand the essence of the book and tell the story you want to see on the screen, and hopefully please yourself - because you cant possibly please everyone.

If you watch a film from beginning to end, with no women in it, it's really difficult.

I've had to find my sanity.

A month and a half after my first audition, I won the role on Lost.

Every night I bring home flowers and burn candles. And I have a real sense that home is what starts everything inside of you.

I read every single letter. Some just break my heart. I've cried over letters that have come in, from young women and older women alike, saying to me, "You know, you made me want to stop crash dieting and just be healthy. You are my role model. I want to be like you."
