You can't have a favourite meal, like you can't have a favourite movie or a favourite book or a favourite child.
I liked getting up at 4 in the morning, driving on the freeway, and going in and stocking shelves and laughing with the stock clerks.
Rudeness is what gets to me [when someone being rude to me in a supermarket]. Yeah. That one does get to me, I have to say.
For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
I said, going into acting, 'I'm never moving to L.A.,' because it scared me. But there was no way you could build an acting career in Orange County.
I say really stupid things sometimes. When I go back and watch some of my old interviews from when I was younger, I just cringe.
When I go to work and when I'm in the public eye, I take much better care of myself. Because when I'm not working, I do indulge more.
I'm always amazed at how consistent people find me and my behavior, when in fact I do feel different all the time.
I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.
I would speak up if I see someone being rude to someone.
Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.
I don't think it's easy for women to watch themselves age. And I think it's obviously doubly hard to grow older when you are a public figure and you constantly have to see your image all the time, and people are constantly pointing it out.
I think all actors have a sadomasochistic streak, because acting is kind of brutal, you know.
My walk is consistently made fun of.
De Niro is a classic example of somebody who is iconic and who sort of effortlessly puts actors at ease the moment you meet him. I think it's also just something that he innately does with people.
There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
I can't imagine myself blowing up supermarkets!
Being from Orange County is in a lot ways very much like being from the Midwest.
I still think people will find out that I’m really not very talented. I’m really not very good. It’s all been a big sham.
It never occurs to me that I'd be intimidating to anybody. Maybe I should consider that.
If I really want to do something, I'll go in and do whatever the director feels that he needs me to do.
I guess I do a really good job at covering.
I still look like a duck.
It's fun to explore areas that are taboo that you're not allowed to in real life as an actor.
My father was very strict, but mostly I just didn't know how to behave on a date.
