If you're an actress or a musician, everyone thinks you're hot

I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.

Sometimes just watching a person doing the things they would only do at home lets you know who they really are.

My dad's a doctor, and when I was 8, I went to one of his medical conferences where they were demonstrating laser surgery on a chicken. I was so mad that a chicken had to die, I never ate meat again.

It really wasn't my thing. It still isn't my thing, the whole science-fiction action thing. I prefer simpler, character-based movies.

I read every biography [of Jackie Kennedy] I could get my hands on.

I've always tried to stay away from playing Jews. I get like 20 Holocaust scripts a month, but I hate the genre.
