Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.

A lot of young poets today, from what I've heard and experienced, can't get their heads past George W. Bush, and I've heard so many poems about this democracy and this era of politics that I'm kind of bored by it

Feminism? The word itself means exactly the same thing to me as the word God does - it's a spirituality that is deeply personal, deeply subjective, and deeply no one else's business. You can identify the word however you want, it's just the non-exploration of it that is unacceptable to me.

For most women, whether you're an actress or whatever you do, there is this pressure in society and within the world to look a certain way, dress a certain way, act a certain way, say certain things, and be this idea as opposed to being a person.

But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.

A lot of people think I'm cynical when I talk about acting. The truth of the matter is, I just don't want someone to get some lame advice that will send them in the wrong direction

I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I've been doing poetry as long as I've been acting.

Right afterward I read Fast Food Nation. That book changed my life: It made me a vegetarian.

Image
I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up.
Amber Tamblyn
Image
I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that
Amber Tamblyn
Image
My advice is to make acting your second career choice
Amber Tamblyn
Image
I have tons of jewelry. I like to wear a lot of it
Amber Tamblyn
Image
I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality
Amber Tamblyn
Image
I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.
Amber Tamblyn
Image
And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong.
Amber Tamblyn
Image
I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry
Amber Tamblyn
Image
And one of my other friends could not believe in God if he came down and tapped her on the shoulder. She's a biologist - a student at UCLA - and I don't judge her either, because I really believe that God is a personal opinion, and only that

If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have

My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.
