My parents really instilled this idea in me of being your own person, almost to the extent that I couldn't do wrong. I'd get a bad grade and they'd be like, "No! What you did was great!"

I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.

I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, 'cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.

Looking back - I did have a lot of success and a lot of great opportunities earlier in my career.

It’s equally as important to me to be a good friend, and a good sister, and a good daughter. I’m very close with my family and friends.

Focus should be on the art of film, not on the business of film.

I remember being 18, and my first boyfriend said to me, "Unless you're in the room, you don't know if it's true." We were talking about gossip.
