I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.

After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries, I still didn't understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like

A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders.

You don't make movies to win awards. You make movies because you want people to see them.

I went to Catholic high school, so my being in this [the craft] is not going to make my grandmother very happy. It's funny, because I was the only one who is Catholic in it. You have this thing in mass where you have to genuflect before you go into the pew, so I said you have to do this [for a scene] and they said why, and I said because you have to; I don't know why, it's a rule. Or like instinct. It's funny they set in a Catholic school. I went to St. Ignatius College Prep - "Where Modesty is our Policy."

I'm really proud to have been in The Craft. I will always be that chick from The Craft, no matter what I do.

I like watching a man boss everybody around. It's so sexy
