I think everyone feels lost at times during their high school years.

I'm trying not to put pressure on myself to decide what to do at this moment, and just sort of go with what's happening.

One of my favorite things to do is not to speak on screen. In theater it's different because there's a lot of emphasis on language - it's a different medium. But that is one of the most wonderful things about film. A person's face can say so much more than their voice can.

I think when things happen in our lives that we can't truly understand why they destroy us, it's because we can't truly understand or communicate it to anyone else. And that is what is destructive - you can't communicate it to the people that you love and it makes things deteriorate. Or you're hiding from yourself, or you're hiding from somebody else, and that was really fascinating to me... that life isn't like the movies and you can't always point to one thing and explain why you did things that ended up hurting you.

I think some of the most important things we read about other people occurs from being able to read their faces and their eyes and their body and those kinds of things.

After I finished 'E.R.', I wanted to concentrate on re-examining what kind of actress I am and taking time for real-life things.

You can be a woman in charge of a production and still be generous and kind and insightful and decisive without being considered a butch in any way.
