He said, 'I'm just grateful for the work'. I thought he would be cynical like me, but he had this immense gratitude.

I love good family films. I think in the context of Sept. 11 it's important that these kinds of movies are made and reach an audience.
So remaking a movie like Mr. Deeds Goes to Town is a really positive statement and I'm so happy I made it in light of what happened after we made it.
I really hope people go back and watch his movies, because he was such a fantastic actor, and he is going to be so missed. And he was also an amazing person, and hilarious and really, just really a great guy.
Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.
I've learned that it's OK to be flawed.

I was not the first choice for Veronica in Heathers. I auditioned and they were like, "Oh, thanks." And I went to the Beverly Center to Macy's and had them do a makeover on me. I went back because I kind of knew that they thought I wasn't pretty enough. They were trying to get Jennifer Connelly.

Somehow I was invited to visit with Audrey Hepburn. I had this afternoon with her, and she gave me a couple things. She was so gracious and everything you would think that she would be.
I was so lucky that I got to meet certain people. It came through Roddy McDowall, who had become a photographer and would do these portraits of celebrities.

It's equally as important to me to be a good friend and a good sister and a good daughter. I'm very close with my family and friends.
I remember being 18, and my first boyfriend said to me, "Unless you're in the room, you don't know if it's true." We were talking about gossip.
