I've always been someone who is pretty hard on herself. But I've lightened up a lot.

I've been an REM fan since I was a little girl. I would jump around to 'Stand' in the mirror.

I think vegetarians - for a lot of them - it's about a lack of commitment to life and relationships. There are some who just like the fact that they're controlling something in their life.

I'm never going to say anything about who I'm dating unless I'm married or engaged.

I like to think that death gives life meaning. I like that philosophy.

When I go away to do a movie, I bring the blanket I've had since I was a little girl. It helps me sleep. I also always bring my laptop so I can E-mail friends. And I bring my dog, Beauty, wherever I can.

If I saw 'Virgin Suicides' or 'Eternal Sunshine,' I'm so proud to be in those movies. They are such great movies. I felt so free on those sets.
