A lot of filmmakers and actors say, "It's so important to bring an authenticity to the role," blah, blah, blah. But then it's interesting because you're also trying to be somebody else, and viewers are going to associate you with that, so I don't think it really has an answer.

It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.

I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.

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

If a film is well made, then great, whatever it's about.

I think that as actresses - and I've definitely gone through this in a really bizarre way, because I worked so much and was really lucky with the roles that I got when I was younger - I remember hearing the older actors saying, "It gets tough," and thinking, "Really? I can't imagine."

One of my friends committed suicide when I was in high school, and it's the most tragic thing anybody can go through.
