I'm Not Into Older Guys. To Tell

Society Makes Suicide So Romantic. I Mean, You Watch These Tv Movies About Teen Suicide And You Want To Jump In Front Of A Bus. Because Your Biggest Fantasy Is Your Own Funeral. No One Will Admit To It, But It's True.

I Think It's Important To Have As Much As A Normal Life And Take The Time To Get Perspective Because It Only Helps Your Work In The Long Run.

I Remember Realizing, When I Did Little Women [1994], That That Was The Only Time Girls That Age Were Being Written About. It Was Always Boys - From David Copperfield To Lord Of The Flies To Holden Caulfield. There Were Never Young Women Going Through Adolescence Or Teen Years; There Were Only Little Girls.

I Think It's Really Important To Have A Life And Have Interests Outside Of This [movie] Business, And Not Rely On This Business To Validate You As A Human Being. If You Do That, You're Really In A Dangerous Spot.

I Was Mid-sentence When The Casting Director Said, "listen, Kid. You Should Not Be An Actress. You Are Not Pretty Enough. You Should Go Back To Wherever You Came From And You Should Go To School. You Don't Have It." She Was Very Blunt - I Honestly Think That She Thought She Was Doing Me A Favor.
