“It used to be you did TV or you did film. Now it's like a media blitz.”
“I've always played different kinds of roles, and I probably played more vulnerable parts when I was really young.”
“I want to make a movie where people are, like, 'Whoa.'”
“My mom always wanted me to do movies where I played, whether I had flaws or not, guys that had a good heart.”
“I think acting is only one part of the piece of the movie. I'ts an important piece, but I'd like to be involved in all the other aspects of making movies.”
“I don't want to just be in the normal kind of teen movie.”
“You have to feel the bad to be able to feel the good.”
“They're trying to beat out this movie, the Ring, which is a similar idea. Our movie is about a website you visit and die in three days. Their movie is about a videotape you watch - and die in three days.”
“I wouldn't want to do a whole movie with effects.”
“I've just had some things to deal with, like family stuff, you know, lost my mom. Which is the most difficult stuff I've gone through. But it's just normal human stuff.”
“But, I didn't get my first break until I was 17.”
“I've always found, when I was younger, that the older guys - the guys who weren't of my generation but were 20, 30 years older than me - were the cool guys.”
“When I was 17, I was going to go to college because I couldn't get a movie.”
“When I played Candy Darling in 'I Shot Andy Warhol,' that was easy to play that part. They made me into a woman: I'm in heels; I'm waxed. I'm gonna find the femininity and lay on the bed and take the voice of an old movie star.”
“I like being creative.”
“I've never really dated actresses except when I was really young.”
“That's the danger of having too much success. You lose that magic, that feeling of not being in control, which I feel now, it's too controlled.”
“I moved to L.A. when I was, like, 6 months old. I was born in Georgia 'cause my dad was going to college at the University of Georgia for music. Then we moved to the Valley, and my dad was a songwriter out here.”
“I have a smaller bottom lip, but in 'Wheeler,' I had a lip over my lip. It's fat, and it helped with my accent.”
“I think that when I was younger and had my first round of big success and was plastered on magazine covers in the early and mid-'90s, I was kind of outspoken and had kind of a pretty aggressive attitude in my life.”
