I have a very highly developed sense of denial.

I don't eat red meat, but sometimes a man needs a steak.

I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let not me act until I graduated from college.

People think, "She's just a rich kid." Until I was 18, I was. Then I was broke. I've never taken a dime off my parents. I'm completely self - made.

When I was twenty-one, a friend gave me a book called Diet for a New America by John Robbins, which exposed the brutal practices of American factory farms. That, coupled with a lecture from Leonardo DiCaprio (when he was nineteen and I was twenty-one) about how such animals are kept and processed, made me lose my desire for factory farm pork and beef right there.

Because I was newly pregnant, I was sick as a dog, yet I knew all my lines from a year before.

Doubt, not self-reflection, comes from a destructive energy, and when it rears its head, I talk to it like a lunatic.
