I've definitely grown apart from a lot of my friends. Some of them don't understand the schedule, and it's not that I don't want to talk to them, it's that sometimes I am really busy and can't get back to them.

Teens are dealing with the same problems now in the '90s as they did back in the '70s, the only real difference is the clothes we wear!

I went to college because I felt like I was supposed to. I graduated from public high school and I did all the things that I was supposed to do.

I think there will always be a double standard between males and females, so I think that an actress is more likely to protect her public persona, so to speak, than an actor would be.

Dictators are ludicrous characters, and, you know, in my career and in my life, I've always enjoyed sort of inhabiting these ludicrous, larger-than-life characters that somehow exist in the real world.

It's really difficult to maintain a credible career as you jump from age group to age group and suddenly you're not the flavor of the month anymore; you're not in demand.

Even when I get to the point where I am acting and performing, where I want to be with my career, I'm never going to think of anyone as lower than me. Everyone's the celebrity of their own life, you know?

After college I’d take up a job and I’d experience what it is to take up a job, rather than starting out on my own. I said let me just work for six months so that I know myself a little better."
