I went to court-reporting school to study stenotyping. After awhile, whenever anybody spoke, in my mind my fingers would be punching it out. Even two years after I quit, my mind still did that.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

Everybody is vulnerable to being in relationships where they get fooled. I'm no different. It's just human nature.

I said, going into acting, 'I'm never moving to L.A.,' because it scared me. But there was no way you could build an acting career in Orange County.

I think all actors have a sadomasochistic streak, because acting is kind of brutal, you know.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

I would speak up if I see someone being rude to someone.
