meaningful alive my-one-and-only
This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.
pet saving world
Saving just one pet won't change the world but surely the world will change for that one pet.
jobs mean two
My male counterpart will get paid ten times more than me -- ten times. Not double, but ten times for the same job. We only have this much left for the female actress. I mean, there’s two genders on this earth. Both are compelling, interesting, diverse, wonderful in all their own separate ways. And yet there’s an influx of male roles, and there's just not for women.
dog smart pet
I bring my dogs on set with me, and my little dog Karoo is smart as a whip. She knows where the craft-services food tables are, so anytime I can't find her, I know she has found her way to that area. She's a funny dog.
euphoric
Learning how to fly, for me, was so euphoric.

The idea of playing a character for even two years, to me feels claustrophobic - only because I want to play a lot of different people.
years beverly-hills remember
I can remember crying on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 after being released from the show a few years ago
baby boys thankfulness
The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.
girl dream oscars
I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream. I never thought this would ever happen.
fans want next
If there's someone that I just wan to work with in the future, I set a general meeting and I say, "I'm a really big fan. I want to meet you. I'd love to collaborate with you someday and hopefully you'll remember that for the next time you have something that I could be right for."
kissing thinking firsts
It's something that you have to experience in your life, but I think my first kiss, I was 7 and it was really yucky.
dream vision boundaries
What do dreams know of boundaries?
crush fear justice
I’m always scared to death that I won’t do a role justice. But fear can be a great motivator.
way life-is unfolding
There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.
