Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.

I think the first time I realized I was actually acting was during Felicity. Before that, I was just going along for the ride.

I tend to come home and eat a bowl of cereal. I'm not thinking about baking a pie when I'm off work.

I think people like to be thrilled and excited. And a scary movie is a safe way to do that because you're not actually doing it. It's entertainment. You know that you're in the confines of this two-hour space of safety in the movie house.

You're not insulting my character. Being a woman, especially in this business, it's so thrilling to get to do that. It's so rare, especially right now the way the film industry is. If you're a girl, the part you get to play these days...because there's so many less movies made...in a good movie, if there's a girl in it, there might be a handful of scenes, and your job is to be supportive to the guy who's messed up. Be the loving rock at home, or be the good mom, or be the attractive person.

Personally, I'm a real wimp with scary movies. I get so scared.
