So I started to learn guitar right away.

I've never been one for sitting on beaches.

I live not too far from it in New York City.

I went to college in Ohio, at Ohio University, and I graduated two years ago.

There are a lot of people who wait tables. And especially because you can do it at night and you can do your work in the day, she and I had a very similar experience.

I don't know how you get dressed if you live in Wales, because it's pouring rain and then it's hot sunshine, and then it might hail. It's just so confusing.

I can only pay my electric bill for my last two years on my acting.

I really like to just jump in a truck with your backpack and just drive and go somewhere.

She tries to get a waitressing job for a while - I mean, she's looking for a while before she finds Coyote Ugly - and it's hard to get a waitressing job in the city.

I'm not lost, they just moved my street.

But Paulie gives all of herself away, and so to create a love like that and a person who would give themselves away was what I thought was going to be difficult. I was little scared of such a challenge.

Let me tell you who I am: I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York and worked in a bar while trying to make a living at what I really wanted to do, which was act.

Well, usually when I finish one character, I'm looking for a role that's really different.

There's no changing your mind about whom you love. That's part of the tough thing about being in love - it's sort of undeniable.

What I'd really like to do is do a film or two a year and then do theater in New York the rest of the year.

I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter.

It takes a lot of guts to get up on top of a bar and dance.

That's what I think we're all looking for - an honest love wherever you can find it.

I had just done what she does in the story just about a year earlier - I moved from New Jersey and came to New York and was working at a bar, and you know, trying to make it.

It was so much fun to play, that I've now had a taste for it and want to play more villains now.

I was bookish and dorky in high school, so the best part of this movie was getting to be on the other side.

You can only really open yourself up so far to someone that you don't truly love - you keep something back when you know somewhere in your gut that this relationship is going to be forever.

So it was just funny to read a script that was just similar to what had been going on in my life.

But at school, I wasn't athletic, and if you're not athlete in high school, it's kind of hard to find your place, so play practice seemed perfect, especially if you were as uncoordinated as I was.

I mean, its hard to be an actor in the city - trying to make it as an actor - because you waitress all night, you get home really late and you're super tired and your feet hurt.

I was never the girl who walked down the centre of the hallway snapping people out of her way.

It's like a blind turn on a highway: You can't see what's coming, so you don't really know how to prepare.

I got lost a lot, and I was a really bad waitress... I got lost on the subway.

Well, love is confusing at all ages, but especially when you're 17.

In Wales, it's eight different weathers in a day.

Nobody got Punk'd and he was still in his season for that show when we were filming. So the kids were very aware that it was filming and that was his show and they were very much on the lookout for that.

In Texas it's always hot, dry, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.

So I started to learn guitar right away.

I can understand in some sense, having played the character, how unimaginably frustrating it is for people to tell you that you can't love who you love, because you ain't going to change it, and so they have to get out of your way.

There's no changing your mind about whom you love. That's part of the tough thing about being in love "it's sort of undeniable.

I had given up the guitar between '75 and '78. I completely lost interest. I was sick of hearing other guitar players and I was tired of my tunes.

Every time the guys were knocked out by my guitar playing and the girls were knocked out by the type of songs I did. That set us apart from the average blues band.

I play piano and guitar. Acoustic guitar. I tried studying classical guitar when I was 16 but it got really hard. I could never play a lead to save my life.

Oh yeah, I mean, it wasn't a very good guitar, most good guitars have got thrust rods in the necks that you can adjust or that'll keep them in shape, you know keep them straight. This one just, well it turned into a bow and arrow after a couple of months.

In OK Computer, the guitar was already moving towards a tone generator as well as a riff generator.

Cool things happen. Ace's guitar flies through space, goes through a hole, and blows up. I throw drumsticks and they come flying at you.

Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.

I keep a guitar around while writing and will improvise music. I do this for several reasons, such as that it's fun, and sometimes it helps me with the meter.

I like to play guitar, jam out, play the blues, go watch movies. I love movies.

Arranging is the way I put my stamp on my music as much as my guitar playing.

Look what venison does to a goofy guitar player from Detroit? I'm going to be 54 this year and if I had any more energy I'd scare you.

An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn't take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I'd found a friend for life.

Because I don't play guitar any more, African harmonies and rhythms have been an inspiration to me. I love the raw origin of the sound. It complements my voice and words naturally.

I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.
