This Tourette's center sent me a package that was like 900 hundred pages.

Actors love mental disorders, dialects, and corsets. Give them one of the three and they're happy.

I really wanted to be nasty and mean and bad. It's so much easier than being the good girl.

I'm really proud to have been in The Craft. I will always be that chick from The Craft, no matter what I do.

I haven't really done a lot of comedies. I don't know why, because I really like them.

I've been doing this long enough that you can tell when people have seen you in something they didn't enjoy, and when they have seen you in something they actually enjoyed.

I usually play disenfranchised youth.

The Craft was what it was. People who respond to that movie respond to it really strongly.

After I do a big movie I get offered big movies. But I always do the weirdest indie.

I'm attracted to roles where I don't have to wear makeup.

People work really hard to get to a certain point. But they have to work just as hard to stay there.

Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters.

I've quoted Lost in America several times.

People do eventually see something that's quality.

I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.

I'm a firm believer that actors take to work who they aren't at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.

My friends that are snobs think its cool I did a movie with Albert Brooks.

In acting there's two different things: You're either pitching in a scene, or you're catching.

A film's success or failure is strictly on the director's shoulders.

I did a film about the Zodiac Killer. It turned out well.

After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries, I still didn't understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like.

Thirty years ago, there was definitely a huge difference between men and women, and the man wanting to feel like the protector, and not scare the wife.

I always try to be careful when an actor who is like 70 walks onto my set at work, I don't want them to get called in five hours early or block shoot something. I think you need to treat them with respect and dignity.
