In America, I don't know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we're in danger.

I don't want to preach, and I don't want to tell people what to do.

Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.

What's great is my parents aren't stuck in the '60s. My dad is so into the culture of today.

My parents really instilled this idea in me of being your own person, almost to the extent that I couldn't do wrong. I'd get a bad grade and they'd be like, "No! What you did was great!"

It's just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.

I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.
