I always knew I wanted to act, but my parents neverencouraged me. If I was talentless, they didn't want me to be heartbroken.

I am convinced that by eating biological foods it is possible to avoid a tumor.

As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England.

Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think, 'God, you're so great!' And then you think, 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course, it's for money and status.

I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.

I remember when I started acting and didn't get a part and was really jealous of the girl who got it. My mom would say to me, "If you don't get a part, that means it's not your part. It's just not yours. You will have your parts." It really recalibrated me at a very young age to where I could be driven because I was trying to achieve things for myself, and that had nothing to do with what anybody else was doing.

I have a sort of sisterly feeling toward him [Ben Affleck]. I want him to do well and grow up and be a happy person and a fully realized man.
