Most of my wardrobe is vintage, and I've worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10.

I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.

I remember being 18, and my first boyfriend said to me, Unless you're in the room, you don't know if it's true. We were talking about gossip.

Society makes suicide so romantic. I mean, you watch these TV movies about teen suicide and you want to jump in front of a bus. Because your biggest fantasy is your own funeral. No one will admit to it, but it's true.

I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.

I thought it was a cool parallel. Being replaced by the young thing. I know that definitely happens in Hollywood. It's harder to find good roles, and suddenly there's new girls. I'm at that age I've been warned my whole life about.

I was mid-sentence when the casting director said, Listen, kid. You should not be an actress. You are not pretty enough. You should go back to wherever you came from and you should go to school. You don't have it. She was very blunt - I honestly think that she thought she was doing me a favor.

It's just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.

My parents are awesome, but they're pretty left-wing.

I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.

It's interesting because First Wives Club was the first movie that made a shitload of money that starred all women over a certain age. That was a milestone that made you think, Oh, things are going to change.

Well, yeah! Now they're considered golden oldies, which is awesome. I was watching Little Women recently, and I didn't want to get up for fear of missing something. And Heathers is like my own Rocky Horror Picture Show I recite the lines when it's on. It may seem odd, but I think it's because they're really good movies.

I often get offered things that are so similar to things that I have done, and life is too short. When you make a film or a show, as you get older, that's a lot of time to be doing something that you're not absolutely invested in or in love with.

People think that they just want movies like Pretty Woman, when really they - at least the ones that I know personally - have been waiting for something that doesn't completely insult them.

You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.

What's awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That's scary, and they just seem to think it's okay to do it, like you're public property.

It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think?

I don't have anything left to offer in the teen-angst area. I've done it every way I know how.

I got to work with Gena Rowlands when I did Night on Earth, and the movie was just you and someone else in a car, you're just hanging out. There's nobody else, just a walkie-talkie. It was a night shoot, and it was only a week or ten days. But it was incredible just being in her presence.

My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I'm very interested in the music scene and I suppose that's why I've ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
