I Just Needed To Leave Hollywood.

I Just Did In My Early Twenties What Most Did When They Were Teenagers, Being Free And Exploring And Making Mistakes, But I Did It In France. I Did It Privately.

I Have A Very Independent Spirit.

I've Always Been The Bookish Type, And I've Never Really Hidden That About Myself.

Whenever People Ask Me How I Manage To Get Through This Whole Crazy Time Of Being Incredibly Famous And Sort Of An Icon And Supposedly A Role Model And All Of This Insanity, I Always Cite My Family And Then Books. I Don't Know What I Would Have Done Without Books.

I've Been Acting For So Long It's More Like - I Won't Say Easy, Exactly, But There's Not The Same Angst With Writing That Comes About With Acting. Writing - Particularly When You're Writing Yourself, When It's You, When It's Your Life, You Really Can't Hide.
