Personal quotes
"(On Co-Star Kate Beckinsdale on hoping to become
friends) That was wrong. We didn't. She's complicated.
She's prickly."
"(on
education vs. career) I was told that my going to college
wouldn't be good for my career. I think that's nonsense.
It's good to empower yourself by cutting yourself off
from this business every once in a while."
"I have
a huge, active imagination, [and] I think I'm really
scared of being alone; because if I'm left to my own
devices, I'll just turn into a madwoman."
"You
don't realize how useful a therapist is until you see
yourself on e and discover you have more problems than
you ever dreamed of."
"I live
in an adult world, but I'm a kid. I love the work. But
I no longer have a group of friends to hang out with
regularly."
