Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

I haven't really done a lot of comedies. I don't know why, because I really like them.

My friends that are snobs think its cool I did a movie with Albert Brooks.

I really wanted to be nasty and mean and bad. It's so much easier than being the good girl.

Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.

A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders.

I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.

Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.

After I do a big movie I get offered big movies. But I always do the weirdest indie.

This Tourette's center sent me a package that was like 900 hundred pages.

I've quoted Lost in America several times.

People do eventually see something that's quality.

In acting there's two different things: You're either pitching in a scene, or you're catching.

I usually play disenfranchised youth.

After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries, I still didn't understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like.

The Craft was what it was. People who respond to that movie respond to it really strongly.

I'm attracted to roles where I don't have to wear makeup.

I've been doing this long enough that you can tell when people have seen you in something they didn't enjoy, and when they have seen you in something they actually enjoyed.

People work really hard to get to a certain point. But they have to work just as hard to stay there.

I'm really proud to have been in The Craft. I will always be that chick from The Craft, no matter what I do.

I did a film about the Zodiac Killer. It turned out well.

I'm a firm believer that actors take to work who they aren't at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.
