Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.

I want to keep working. I want to step away from young adult fiction. I want to do theater periodically - Farragut North reminded me how great it is. I started out in theater. I trained in theater and then I kind of fell into film and TV. I want to work with interesting artists, talented actors, talented directors, and talented scripts. Not necessarily leading roles.

The actors I respect are the ones who see it as a career and manage to live reasonably normal lives, like Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I think New York is more stylish than London.

I don't look on the Internet; it's a world of pain.

I haven't read the 'Twilight' books. But it's everywhere so I feel like I know it. Edward, Bella, Jacob, etc. but... I haven't read them.

You know, Taylor Lautner, with a body like that, he should be taking his shirt off. For me, it's not so essential.
