Everyone always says, 'Kristen got 'Panic Room' because she looks like Jodie Foster.' But it was actually Nicole Kidman who was supposed to play my mother.

I was so sensitive and touchy in a way that my character would never be. I was so protective and defensive of young girls, and sex in general.

I say whatever I want, I look whatever I want. That doesn't mean I don't question myself and feel insecure.
