Well, I certainly was exposed to and learned to appreciate the work of great directors early on. As a kid, my mother used to take me to see really interesting arty films in Los Angeles.

Adolescence is a tough one to be a child actor.

Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock do romantic comedies. I do dark dramas. I do these movies well.

I'm not interested in being perfect when im older. Im interested in having a narrative. It's the narrative that's really the most beautiful thing about women.

I'd always need a creative outlet. But sometimes, I do fantasize what my life would be like if I weren't famous.

My earliest memories are doing commercials and TV.

I can't imagine ever not doing [acting]. I would feel like I would have lost a limb. But I am older now, and sometimes I wonder who I would have been and what about me would have changed had I not had these experiences as a young person
