I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.

It would be great if teenagers could make movies. It's sad how some writers think they can write about stuff they don't understand.

There's a scene [in the 1990 film Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael] in my bedroom where I start eating Almond Roca. I was so young. It was before I knew the tricks of moviemaking, and I didn't know you shoot a lot of different angles. I gobbled them and didn't realize I had to keep doing it. So I had to eat 64 Almond Roca that day. I got so sick. In the beginning you're like, 'Ooh, that looks good.' But hours later, no.

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.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

One thing you have to have when you act is energy.

I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.
