writing listening sitting
I enjoy writing rhymes and sitting alone in a room listening to beats. It's pretty amazing.
certain amount
Every movie soaks into you for a certain amount of time.
fun play guy
I don't know why I always get to play these guys who have few redeeming features. But don't knock it. Villains are much more fun.
want actors offers
The offers were, like, a lot of money - maybe not for other actors, but definitely for me. But I don't want that power. I don't want $20-million power.
thinking interviews shows
I think the day that I become comfortable doing interviews and going on talk shows is the day that I don't know what it is to be a human being anymore.
believe thinking ideas
I don't believe in god. I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't believe in soul. I don't believe in anything. I think it's totally right for people to have their own beliefs if it makes them happy, but to me it's a pretty preposterous idea.
believe parent way
When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways.
hate trying lasts
The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.
girl sarcastic going-away
I once told a journalist that girls call me 'Kitten,' but I couldn't have been more sarcastic, and no matter how many times I've said that it was a joke, it still doesn't go away.
summer kids two
I becan acting when River was doing this TV series and they needed two kids for the show, so they got me and my little sister, Summer, to do it. After that I did some really weird guest spots with orangutans and stuff.
real acting important
Acting is real important to me. I love it, and it's something I care about.
drains incapable personal-life
My personal life absolutely goes down the drain when I start working; that's something that I'm incapable of doing.
medusa roles
I've been prepping for my role as Medusa.
kids tests remember
I'm like the kid that crams for tests and never remembers anything.
