I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, 'cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.

Dear Diary: My teen angst bullshit now has a body count.

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.

The actors that I do know are people who I think have souls, you know?

You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.

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.

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.
