I'm not a happy person when I'm working.

I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

One of the best things - and something I'm grateful for every time I walk onto a film set - is my six and a half years on Dawson's Creek and the experience it afforded me in how to get comfortable with the camera.

When I was filming the Marilyn Monroe movie, I was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen.

Because whatever I feel inside, it has a place to go. It just saves me over and over and over again.

It's all so personal, isn't it? It's hard to talk about work without talking about things that are personal. Work is personal. I don't want to talk about my personal life, but it's on my mind, and it's in my work.

I don't know what 15-year-old doesn't have a desire to separate themselves from their parents and prove their independence.
