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

What's awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That's scary, and they just seem to think it's okay to do it, like you're public property.

I don't use the Internet, but apparently you can find out everything on it.

It's just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.

I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.

I think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they're still in love and still write together.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.
