I Want To Be A Good Person,

I Really Lucked Out In Terms Of How My Parents Encouraged Me To Develop My Own Personality So I Didn't Just Feel Incredibly Insecure And Like I Didn't Fit In.

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.

I'm Not A Drug User Myself. I'm Too Little To Take Drugs - My Body Can't Take It.

There's A Scene [in The 1990 Film Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael] In My Bedroom Where I Start Eating Almond Roca. I Was So Young. It Was Before I Knew The Tricks Of Moviemaking, And I Didn't Know You Shoot A Lot Of Different Angles. I Gobbled Them And Didn't Realize I Had To Keep Doing It. So I Had To Eat 64 Almond Roca That Day. I Got So Sick. In The Beginning You're Like, 'ooh, That Looks Good.' But Hours Later, No.

The Fact That I Got Into Acting At All Was Kind Of Fluke-ish. I Loved Movies, But I Can't Remember Ever Really Wanting To Be An Actress, And I Certainly Didn't Imagine Ever Being In A Movie. I Think I Wanted To Be A Writer.
