May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.

A teacher is a person who used to think he liked children.

There were days that I literally had no reason to get out of bed. It just was so destructive for me.

My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy, and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it's just impossible to have a relationship.

It just gets frustrating playing the girlfriend, It's just this awful feeling, sitting in your house, waiting for a script to come. I like to be more proactive.

'Chasing Amy' was an amazing role, but then after that, I went and did 'Big Daddy' and you're the girlfriend or you're the best friend. I wasn't getting the Nicole Kidman roles.

I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me.
