When I arrived at Columbia, I gave up acting and became interested in all things French. French poetry, French history, French literature.

Most scripts are bad. I read a lot of them.

Everyone has the attitude that movies aren't just disposable entertainment - they can really mean something. I love that, because that's the way I feel about films.

There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.

I lost you when you left me to find yourself.

While I'm not a celebrity, it's such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.

I was studying for the SAT's and learning lines.
