If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have
I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry
A lot of people think I'm cynical when I talk about acting. The truth of the matter is, I just don't want someone to get some lame advice that will send them in the wrong direction
My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad
Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.
I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up
Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.
We hung out a lot together. We went and saw films together. It was really actually quite easy. I think we were all very subconsciously connected in knowing that we needed to make it important, and therefore it just became important and it worked. Everybody had a lot of respect for each other. I think respect is the most important thing you can have.
When people ask me what I do for a living, I always say, "I get rejected for a living." And that's true.
My advice is to make acting your second career choice
I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that
And one of my other friends could not believe in God if he came down and tapped her on the shoulder. She's a biologist - a student at UCLA - and I don't judge her either, because I really believe that God is a personal opinion, and only that
Feminism? The word itself means exactly the same thing to me as the word God does - it's a spirituality that is deeply personal, deeply subjective, and deeply no one else's business. You can identify the word however you want, it's just the non-exploration of it that is unacceptable to me.
A business like acting is 90% luck. You can be a star one minute and out of work the next
