I went through a wood-chopping phase when I was nine or 10.
I get photographers hiding in my bushes. We're way past autographs. We're into being stalked and followed.
But really, for the most part - doing a prequel is great because you do have room to kind of free this character and how they got to where they are instead of being a slave to exactly what the previous actor did.
I want to play a character I've never been before-a crazy serial killer like Charlize Theron in Monster. I'd love to have to shave my head.
I really would not call myself a fashion icon. I would call myself somebody who gets dressed by professionals...I would call me more of a monkey.
I was having chest pains. Photoshop made it glamorous.
"I was just like a pathological liar when I was a kid. I think I just wanted to one-up somebody. Somebody would be like, 'Oh, God, my legs hurt.' I'd be like, 'Your legs hurt? I'm getting mine amputated next week.' And that's actually how my mother found out. She came to school and somebody was like, 'God, that's such a shame about Jennifer's legs.' She made me purge. I had to spill out all of my lies. I was like, 'I said that Dad drove a barge, and we were millionaires, and you were pregnant, I had to get my legs amputated, and I spayed cats and dogs on the weekends.' Now I can't lie.
Sometimes I feel like a vampire
Even as far back as when I started acting at 14, I never considered failure.
I just don't like that you can either be ugly and smart or pretty and dumb, or ugly and nice or pretty and mean.
If you don't look like an airbrushed model ... you have to look past it. You look how you look. What are you going to do?
All I need in a relationship is somebody to watch TV with me
I’m a big believer in accepting yourself the way you are and not really worrying about it.
I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people, but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it. Then you don't want to swallow it because it stays in your system for seven years or something, so I've asked to throw it away. I've started to wonder if that's why I didn't get certain movies.
