Every movie I make I find kind of excruciating. I get a lot back from it, but I feel like I'm kind of always working at the edge of my ability. I guess that's what I'm looking for when I go to work. I am trying to become the edge.

There was a weird, innate kind of understanding between me and Christina (Ricci). A psychic told us we were sisters in a past life.

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.

I've come to learn that the choices I labor over and go back and forth about and ask a million people for their opinions and make lists about those are always the wrong choices.

I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.
