• "My nickname among my group of friends is 'Mother,' and I tend to take care of everybody."

• "You don't necessarily always want to be with someone who works in your business. It takes a certain kind of couple that are both actors to be able to make it, and it takes a certain kind of ego and lack of competition and ability to really sustain a relationship while you're spending a lot of time apart. I'm with a cinematographer. He's very stable, and I'm highly neurotic - so it works."

• "I used to hop trains, smoke marijuana in the bathroom, steal English muffins from the dining hall..."

• "We were in the third day of final exams and strung out of coffee and cigarettes"

• "I love smoking. I quit when I was pregnant but it really relaxes me."

• "Those blue jeans looked great, you know? I mean the boy looks good. It was such a drag working with Jon Bon Jovi, the rock star, every day. It was so difficult just to walk out on the set."

• "My sisters are very academically inclined so whenever they would fix me up , it would always be from someone in their world, people they would find attractive. When they came to the door in suits, it was over."
