As an actress, you want to try new things. You don't want to repeat yourself. That becomes more important to you, as you get older.

My parents were great in the sense that they treated me like a human being when I was growing up. They showed me how beautiful things can be and how ugly they can be.

I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.

Even though 'Heathers' didn't make a lot of money, I really was able to transition into a situation where people thought I could play an attractive role because of it.

I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.

I've loved making movies. I feel like I've been so lucky because I've gotten to be in movies that are some of my favorites, regardless of my being in them - like 'Heathers.'

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.
