I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.
I don't want to be rich and I don't want to be famous.
I always knew I wanted to act, but my parents neverencouraged me. If I was talentless, they didn't want me to be heartbroken.
Much the way I want to know if my food is farm-raised, or wild, or if my orange juice is fresh or from concentrate. I also believe I have the right, and we as Americans all have the right to know what's in our food.
It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.
I wouldn't say I'm a very original thinker, but if I have a good experience with something, I'll want to take it further or adapt it in some way.
My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act.
What I've learned is I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it.
Are you crazy? I don't want to wear ideas. I don't want to have all these complicated thing.
I eat whatever I want. I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable.
It would be easier on them now had they not talked to the press about each other to begin with. I learned my lesson at 24,
Europeans are incredibly negative about America at the moment. I think they lose sight of the fact that the country's a very divided place right now.
I wasn't the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let me act until I graduated from college.
I was very interested in art and art history. I probably would have pursued that somehow - working in a gallery or an auction house.
