In High School I Had A Boyfriend

I Feel Like I Could Never Walk Around A Film Half-naked. I Definitely Wouldn't Want To See That.

When I Go Away To Do A Movie, I Bring The Blanket I've Had Since I Was A Little Girl. It Helps Me Sleep. I Also Always Bring My Laptop So I Can E-mail Friends. And I Bring My Dog, Beauty, Wherever I Can.

I Was Always In And Out Of School. What I Learned In High School Is That Female Friendships Are So Much More Important Than Worrying About Having A Boyfriend Or Looking Good Or Things Like That. I Had Such A Good Girlfriend Growing Up That We Didn't Need Anything. We Had Such A Creative World Of Our Own Imagination Together. For Me, If I Have A Child, I Would Say, "i Hope You Find A Best Friend That Makes It So You Don't Really Need Much But Each Other." Learning About That Type Of Friendship And Trust Is One Of The Best Things I Ever Got Out Of School.

I Am Sure I Would Love To Do It Now, But Back Then, I Was, Like, 11 And It Was 'ugh.' There's Nothing Sexual Or Sexy When You're That Age. So I Was Kissing Brad Pitt. So What? He Had Chapped Lips. He Was Lovely And Kind And Sweet To Me, But It Was Just Yuk.

I Don't Want To Be 'box-office Girl,' But I Don't Want To Be 'that Indie Girl' Either.
