I was technically a Valley Girl, even though I absolutely dreaded being called that. I really hated the idea that I was a Valley Girl

I just love getting dirty.

Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that

I turned down a lot of things that were so-called commercial. You're coming out of one film, and then they want you to be in the same one.

When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.

After every movie, I always kick myself for the same things-didn't do enough, not enough variation, not enough interesting choices, too bland.
