I'm so associated with being young and being with a teenager.

I don't like being alone. I haven't been alone since I got a boyfriend.

I can't stand films that make the kids out to be heroes and the parents to be imbeciles.

It's the universal feeling that we all are alone - that we're all different. I think the movie's one resounding theme is that everybody feels the same, and we're all alone together. Some people come up to me on the street and thank me for helping them get through their teen years.

Usually the kids are portrayed as very one-dimensional. Like these mindless animals that just have three things on their minds: getting laid, getting drunk, and driving real fast over Mulholland Drive.

I write in bed, too. I find it very comforting. I want to sort of, like, crawl in a fetal position if I have to.

I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek.
