I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think?

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

If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

The fact that I got into acting at all was kind of fluke-ish. I loved movies, but I can't remember ever really wanting to be an actress, and I certainly didn't imagine ever being in a movie. I think I wanted to be a writer.

I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.

Googling yourself is maybe one of the worst things you can do. I did it once, and someone had to talk me off a ledge.
