We each own one car, and we have a reasonable house. It's a lovely place to be, but it's not extravagant.
You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?
Once you have the pattern of life of this person, the choreography, so to speak, you have the canvas that you present eight times a week, not without feeling underneath it, but it's not as churning as the discovery process was.
You can control what you put in your body - 100 percent. You really can control your level of fitness and how your body looks.
I have been firming up and making changes in my roster for 2001. This needs to be done from now and then, to make sure what you are booking is working, and to keep a balance in your roster that works.
I just needed to leave Hollywood.
I love James Brown, and as a baby, I was always dancing to James Brown.
Divorce is brutal and horrible and... you have to actively work to get your life back on track.
The dream factory of that time was much simpler. As media outlets grew, everything became so complicated.
I taught myself to listen and kind of regurgitate what I was surrounded by, and it's been a wonderful tool to have as an actor.
I connected very much with all the work of Joan Crawford because she started as a flapper. She used to dance and sing and she was very cute. She had something that was so different from what she is at the end of her life and she started in the silent movies and then went into the talkies.
I dress up for awards, but only if somebody else is going to pay for the clothes. And shop for them, too!
Urban Outfitters - I love it. It's almost like Forever 21, but for, like, the 24- to 25-year-old girl, getting a little bit older.
To err is human, but it feels divine.
We are 5 percent of the global population and consume a third of the total resources - on some level we should all feel guilty relative to the world.
I have disassociated myself from that book.
I'm actually the last person to ask about school. I kinda ducked out at 12, before all that stuff might have happened. I left school after sixth grade and was basically home-schooled after that.
Oh, my God. I want to be a mother, and I anticipate loving my children quite fiercely. I think about it all the time, though it's a silly thing to think about because the kind of mother I'll be depends on the kind of children I have. I can't wait to meet them.
I never saw myself as trend-setting.
I tend to dress a little more sophisticated than most women do.
Sure I faced the troubles and challenges that most actors and actresses face until they get noticed, but I was always confident of myself and my capabilities.
I always sort of thought, 'I'm probably going to get breast cancer. There's a really good chance.'
I did nine months in 'Mrs. Klein' in New York, then four months on the road. Then I did a movie directed by Philip Haas, who did 'Angels & Insects'. We shot 'The Blood Oranges' in Mexico for six weeks.
I unfortunately had a lot of medical procedures throughout my life, so I decided to paint all of my surgeries as a way to heal and as a way to grow.
But Paulie gives all of herself away, and so to create a love like that and a person who would give themselves away was what I thought was going to be difficult. I was little scared of such a challenge.
Privacy is paradise.
You don't have to listen to those mean girls. They're just there to make you upset and make you feel bad about yourself. And you know, inside, they feel bad about themselves too. But they don't wanna admit it to anybody.
I think my real depressions started when I was about 16 and doing The Patty Duke Show. I would go to bed at about 10 o'clock on a Friday night and not get up again until 6:30 Monday morning.
My parents met because my father was an actor friend of one of my mom's brothers, but my mother has never set foot on the stage - she's quite shy. So it's a strange thing because people say, 'Oh, coming from acting parents,' when the idea of acting would literally make my mother just want to throw up.
When you are mad at yourself, you are mad at everybody.
I can dance. I like hip hop and stuff and jazz movements, but I'm horrible in ballet. I tried.
In real life, one of my friends was killed in a car accident during our sophomore year.
Some of us only meet in the most fleeting moments; some of us never meet, but still hear about one another and therefore cherish what we know from what we've heard, and mourn the loss, even though we're spared what the close-loved ones must endure - the ongoing pain of an empty place in the heart for the rest of life.
Hopefully, I'll just get to be part of good films and work with good people, and that's how it will develop.
Throw in the humor, throw in that personality, try things you wouldn't normally try.
When I'm home, I'm just mom. We're a normal, regular family doing normal, regular types of things.
