I try to become more humble and more myself with every year. There was a while when I got famous where I was so confused and my head was spinning.

There's a side of my personality that goes completely against the educated & serious woman. The side who wants to be a pin-up girl in garages all across America!

I had been looking for a New York apartment, but I said, Why not give LA a go?

There are all kinds of other things I could do, things I would probably like, but only acting would give me emotional fulfillment.

[My choice about scripts] is just a question of what I fall in love with. You have to use some kind of instinct meter about it. I think I'm getting closer to my instincts now. I don't think there needs to be a plan. I think there needs to be love. I think you need to love what you're doing and then the rest is anybody's guess.

Acting is doing, because everything you say or do is some kind of an action, some kind of a verb. You're always connected to the other person through some kind of action.

You know how in high school you do these plays and people come up after the show and they're really excited for you? Well, that's what's happening to me right now.
