Personal quotes
"I love humor. I always will fall back on humor.
That's something that I think you can't ever get enough
of and, if it's done well, it's great. When it's bad,
it's horrible."
"(on
marital plans) I've always been very sceptical about
marriage, because I only want to do it once; I want
to do it the right way."
"I've
learned that success comes in a very prickly package.
Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.
It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose
to surround yourself with. Always choose people that
are better than you. Always choose people that challenge
you and are smarter than you. Always be the student.
Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost
it."
"I remember
sitting down in Joel Silver's office and Joel going,
'Do you want to do this film?' I remember going, 'I
would like to do it, but I would love to talk about
the character,' and it was almost like I had said the
biggest joke."
"The
only reason I haven't married yet, is because I take
it too seriously."
"Fame
means when your computer modem is broken, the repair
guy comes out to your house a little faster."
"I have
no desire to maintain a lifestyle. I am a horrible celebrity.
If I am out in public I dress like a pig."
"I've
always pictured myself as a clydesdale."
"I've
never set out to make rotten films, but I have, and
the straw that broke the camel's back was Speed 2."
"I don't
feel the need to break free from that, but I want to
make sure that when people say 'girl next door' or 'sweetheart,'
they know that that sweetheart is gonna be a B-I-T-C-H
some days. There's a lot that goes on in my life that
will never find its way into [the press]. I have ugly
sides, and if I didn't, I would be an incredibly shallow,
boring person. We all have our good days, and I have
good days when I'm doing press-- I'm not gonna come
in here an be a pain in the butt-- but I know what battles
to pick."
""Sometimes
I wish I could go back to before I did Speed, because
I could do work then and people would look at the work,
as opposed to me coming with a tremenous amount of baggage.
I'm trying to slowly work out of that. I don't wanna
always be the lead in films. That's why I did A Time
To Kill... When you start out as an actor, you get one
shot at an audition and you make the best of it. I really
miss that. All of the sudden, you have a hit film and
they assume you can do anything. They throw every script
at you, because it's not about your talent, it's about
how much money you bring to the box office..."
"It's
a basic sandwich principle that always reminded me of
relationships. The more complicated the food, the more
you put in stuff that you don't really need or want.
That's why I like basic sandwiches." And when asked
what kind of sandwich she is? "Very basic. Swiss,
turkey, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, on toasted white
bread."
"The
key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is
communication, respect, and I guess you have to like
the way the other person smells . . ."
"I've
always been very skeptical about marriage, because I
only want to do it once; I want to do it the right way."
"You
know what? I totally get Jan. I adore Jan, and I get
him. He's two different people. When he goes totally
ballistic, to me it's like Tourette's. There's no emotion
behind it, it's just him venting--I don't hear him.
And then he's a sweetcake, like, two seconds later.
He has a method to his madness, and his madness is just
a lot of noise. I like who Jan is--I think he's funny."
"It's
such a weird thing, because I don't take it for granted,
but I also don't take the monetary aspects of it too
seriously. I'll still turn things down, then go, "What
am I turning down? This is ridiculous!" I'll make
jokes about all the money that's thrown around, but
at the same time be thinking, Oh my God, what if I never
work again? I can't go back to being a waitress. Twenty
things like that go through your head each time. But
then sometimes you just want to open up a bed-and-breakfast
in some great town. Then, if you have to go back and
be a waitress, you can run the bed-and-breakfast."
