What’s awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That’s scary, and they just seem to think it’s okay to do it, like you’re public property.
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.
I have this sense that I didn’t really start growing up until my twenties.
I’m quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I’ve been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.
It’s an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.
I get sent a lot of scripts where you’re just the mom.
Usually, the roles that you get offered that are the mom roles are very much the mom role.
I was single for a while and dating and… I just didn’t know how to do it! I’ve always been like that: when I was 15, there was a guy I liked, and we made out, and I thought that meant he was my boyfriend.
You can’t pay enough money to… cure that feeling of being broken and confused.
Weird people follow you in the streets, you can’t sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone.
