I try not to dwell on the past. I'm not a big go-back-and-try-to-relive-your-past kinda person.
I was a teen star. That's disgusting enough.
It never hurts to be involved in any political or activist organization. I can never see how participation would be a bad thing. The key is being true to what you participate with and who.
I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that's a long process.

I read Noam Chomsky. I like some of Gore Vidal's stuff.

My point was that it's hard to make good films, but I'm not under any illusion that you do all the time.
I have a good friend who's a Texas girl; Texas girls are a whole different breed.
I think it's very improtant and healthy to tell differnt stories than the corporatist narratives we are being asked to swallow hook, line and sinker.
