Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.

I was like a total cliched '80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.

There were, like, 20 of [Jackie Kennedy's biographies], which was interesting because they are not exactly high literature - they are pulpy.But the [Arthur] Schlesinger transcripts ended up being the most useful of anything.

I'm going to college. I don't care if it ruins my career. I'd rather be smart than a movie star.

There are movies where we are interested in seeing people's lives without agreeing with what they're doing.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

I'm a Gemini, so I change my mind every day.
