My driving, I've been accused of not being the best, most safest driver.
roles ifs courses
Of course, if you're gonna make movies, you gotta make movies, and I'm not gonna say no to a good role.
song brother father
The first music I was ever exposed to was Irish folk music, like the Clancy Brothers. My father plays that and Christmas songs.
taken thinking long
I think the reason I've survived that long is because I've taken my work so seriously. Maybe sometimes too seriously, but it's always been important for me to do my best regardless of the film. I think the biggest compliment I get is when people on the street stop me and say they've liked the choices I've made.
say-anything way starting
The worst thing I could be accused of is that I'm a one-way dude, only out for myself. But the worst thing a woman can do is not to say anything. Especially when you're starting a relationship.
pressure actors sensitive
It was being young and sensitive and an actor. There was a lot of pressure, everything was a hurdle.
contradiction holes knows
In politics there are so many holes, so many contradictions, you don't know what's happening.
wall people enemy
I don't hide out. If you build a wall around yourself, it draws people to invade it. Fear is the enemy.
advice actors too-much
Actors don't generally go asking other actors for advice too much, but I'll take suggestions wherever I can.
drama character stuff
I like to do comedy, but I'll be perfectly honest, I prefer to do drama and more character-driven-based stuff, generally.
creeps absent absent-minded
I'm not the greatest boyfriend, but I'm not a creep. It's more like I'm... absent-minded.

I'm not a Buddhist, or a card-carrying member of any religion.
hollywood belief conviction
I don't consider myself a Hollywood liberal, but I have my convictions and my beliefs.
fun school kids
I used to make fun of the kids in school who acted or went to dance class.
