My mother's been married many, many times and grew up believing in love like that. It's remarkable.

I remember my agent at the time called me and was like, "I've got it! I've found it! I've found your role!" I worked my ass off to get that role, because I think me and three or four other girls tested for it. But it was a great time.

In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique

Instead of making Friday The 13th, Part VIII or whatever, I was making the girl-meets-boy, girl-meets-girl-dressed-as-boy movie. It was fun. I liked it. It's goofy. I look back at myself and think, "What the hell was I doing?"

I'm honest. I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that.

My gift to my children would be from me to be as honest and true to myself as an artist, and put that out there to the best of my ability.

The beauty of age is we grow, we learn. We have more wisdom.
