 Fame doesn't end loneliness. |
| I think because I am as earnest as I am, people were accepting of my evolving into a certified, legitimate, and grown up and I did take three years off. |
| I have this home in New York, I have a long-term relationship with my boyfriend, who's from Australia, and I had this business that I had maintain. Even though I wasn't actively shooting, there's a lot of peripheral work. |
| I really liked Yale, although it was extremely intimidating. When I visited the campus, I was hiding behind trees, I felt so unworthy. |
| I'm only realizing now that I was a child actress because I always took myself so seriously. |
| Acting is the greatest answer to my loneliness that I have found. |
| There's certainly something very uncomfortable about the voyeurism involved in being in the press, being an actor, where people have a seemingly insatiable curiosity about, you. |
| My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production. |
| I finally realized that yeah I did want to be an actor and it wasn't out of habit, but I needed to grow up for myself and then kind of re-enter the industry with a sound understanding of what my sensibilities and my values are as a relatively formed human being. |
| Yeah, there was the Flora Plum thing, where I trained for about a month and I had taken a semester off for that, and two weeks prior to filming, the financing collapsed. |
| I would sign on for projects that were meant to shoot in July, and then they would postponed and they would bleed into the following semester, and then I'd take a semester off, and then the movie would collapse. |
| Growing up, I wanted desperately to please, to be a good girl. |
| What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting. |
| I hadn't been free from adult responsibilities since I was 12, and I needed to experience that. I really needed to just be a kid again. |
| But I don't know if people are meant to be together. You have to have a lot in common, choose well and be really fortunate. It's not like you're sprinkled with fairy dust. You have to believe that love will be there when you need it. |
| You don't realize how useful a therapist is until you see yourself on e and discover you have more problems than you ever dreamed of. |
| I became very successful at a young age... I had lots of opportunities and lots of power and had no idea how to focus it. |
| You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film. |
| Maybe philosophy - I love talking about ideas. Or maybe art history. I was thinking about psychology, then I got really afraid because everybody says it's terribly boring. |
| When I was 18 I went to college for two years and didn't work for a year which was essential for me, because my identity had been so influenced by my being an actor and I think I just needed to discover what it was to be myself, divorced from all that responsibility. |
