I wanted to do what Marilyn Monroe did (during the Korean War), when she went and just set up a stage and did a concert for the troops all by herself. It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be.

I want to get married before I'm 30. And I'd like to win an Oscar before then.

I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.

This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that's what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.

It's flattering that people want to know so much about me and want to take the time to make up that many things about me.

I love my red hair. It makes me spunkier.

I think it's a lot more interesting to watch a character go through a transition in a movie. You love her and then you almost want to not like her because she gets mean and gets 'lost' and everything.
