I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality
Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.
I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up
A lot of people think I'm cynical when I talk about acting. The truth of the matter is, I just don't want someone to get some lame advice that will send them in the wrong direction
I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry
I think it's hard to be taken seriously as a poet, period.
I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you
When I'm acting, I have zero control, and it's the scariest thing anyone can do in that field because, you know, your face is always the one that's out there in front of the camera, and any number of things can happen to you once you've done your work. It can be edited badly, it can be distributed badly, or it can not be distributed at all. And I've certainly experienced that; every actor has.
I have tons of jewelry. I like to wear a lot of it
My parents are artists, so I grew up with my mom having bonfires, seven guitars, and talented musicians and artists around like Jack Hirschman.
We hung out a lot together. We went and saw films together. It was really actually quite easy. I think we were all very subconsciously connected in knowing that we needed to make it important, and therefore it just became important and it worked. Everybody had a lot of respect for each other. I think respect is the most important thing you can have.
I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I've been doing poetry as long as I've been acting.
IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Just because you grow up in the public eye doesn't mean that you're immune to the same sort of issues and feelings that any other woman would go through.
