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

I remember when I first started being in magazines, I had pretty thin skin. I was this nerd that read books and stayed home and didn't go out.

In retrospect, I think maybe Audrey Hepburn was going to talk to me about doing something for UNICEF. I was so overwhelmed to just even be in her presence and I was very young, but it was really special and unforgettable.

I'm very attached to movie theaters and I love going to them. Nothing will ever replace that. It's very romantic and beautiful. I used to want to live inside of one, with a bathtub, a bike and a bed, and just watch movies.

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.

For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.

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.
