Quotes

I read a script and I know immediately whether that role is for me or,not.

I have been able to sniff out a phony.

I always find the most depressing stuff most interesting.

As young, hot actors living in Hollywood, you get even more attractive.

Hair extensions and wigs are not the same thing. Wigs are for old ladies,and drag queens. Extensions are for women who want longer hair. To be,safe, never bring it up if you think a woman is wearing either. No good,comes of it.

A boyfriend has so much to do with a woman blossoming.

I dated a guy who played bad guys in movies all the time, and I think he,was just a bad guy.

Cate Blanchett and others, they get this broad range of all these cool people they can play. Some women really do get it all. For me, it is the same thing that happens over and over. I should change that and maybe write my own thing.

Dating is. . . weird.

I always remember this neighbor who would ask me to babysit for her. She looked like Jayne Mansfield, and I remember babysitting for, like, five hours and she would pay me 80 cents, with a phony smile. I used to go home fuming to my mum.
