I loved acting as a kid because I was kind of shy, so it brought me out of myself.

I just don't want to talk about my personal life. I feel like it's mine, I'm not trying to promote it. It's nice to have things that are your own, that you value enough that you don't have to use to sell a movie.

I've never done anything that I felt was crossing the line for me. But everybody has to make that decision individually. Like, I've never shot heroin to play a heroin addict. I've never turned a trick to play a prostitute. Whatever. You draw the line where you feel it could be harmful.

It's very exciting to work with people who inspire you.

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying.

Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible.

I don't really watch my moves all that often; I mean, really, I don't.
