I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age.
I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.
I don't think there is anything good about fame. 'Tables in restaurants.' People say that but, then again, why don't you just call the day before? Or go eat somewhere else?
I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.
I like to nap. I do like to sleep. Sometimes I sleep in between takes.
In the end, winning is sleeping better.
People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist.
When I went home, my family became a little lonely family because it was just me and my mom. Part of my longing to go back to work was wanting to be surrounded by these people who were teaching me things and drinking bad coffee at three in the morning while we were lying around in a bikini in the winter. Somehow it just felt like real life. It felt more like real life than my life.
There is nothing in this world that I am prouder of than my ability to feel, to survive and, yes, to be a fool for what I love and believe in.
I want to change the system from within the system. And that means focusing and specializing.
Cruelty might be very human and very cultural, but it is not acceptable and it is not an option.
I really did feel like I was surrounded by family members. I didn't have a dad, and I remember there were all these guys - in the old days, there were no women, except a makeup artist or, occasionally, a script supervisor. So there were just guys who taught me how to, you know, whittle wood, or how to pull focus, and what the camera was doing. And if I was being bratty, they'd sit me down and tell me. There were lots of rules about not being late and making sure that you didn't spill anything. So it felt a little bit like I was in a family.
When I go into the stores, I pet the saddles. Until security comes and takes me away.
People say as a woman actor your career is over at 40. But then they told me I would never work again after I was 16.
