I think you either live a real life or you live a weird celebrity pseudolife. I think I lead a really real life.

A lot of times [in the movie industry], women are relegated to playing the wife or girlfriend or daughter.

I think that's what growing up is all about. It's about taking on new responsibilities and learning what you can handle, and learning what you can't.

Our bodies are machines and have to be functional, and to do that they have to be fed properly.

Buffys very similar to me to me when I was growing up. A child in an adult world, sort of trapped between the two. Does Buffy go to the prom or does she save the world from demons?

People tell me not to do a soap, but it was a great learning experience because I became familiar with the technical aspects of the business. Besides, look who came out of soaps - Julianne Moore, Demi Moore, Tommy Lee Jones, Parker Posey, Kathleen Turner. All amazing people.
