I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it.

I hate it when people use sex as a weapon against the people who are engaging in it. It's so hypocritical.

I take the responsibility of choosing seriously because it becomes an indelible part of your body of work. Something has to sing to me.

I had a Christian upbringing - it was all about sin and guilt. I was very happy just kissing people. I was like the make-out queen - not even second base.

Now that I've got some films under my belt, I have the courage of my convictions regarding acting. It gives me a leg to stand on.

The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first.

As a youth, I hated myself for not being good enough. All my inadequacies and failures, not being kind enough, generous or understanding enough, would assail me at night. It became a habit to be guilty and self castigating, not liking myself because I was unworthy... I really tortured myself.
