Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.

I always had to prove myself through my actions. Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper.

My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.

Although some people will say it's a cliché, I think not having had a father when I was growing up affect me negatively because I didn't have a good role model to follow.

I carried my Oscar to bed with me. My first and only three-way happened that night.

A person's self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks.

People win 'Oscars', and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head.
