Quotes:
* (On co-star 'Kate Beckinsale' on hoping to become friends) "That was wrong. We
didn't. She's complicated. She's prickly".

* (On co-star 'Kate Beckinsale' on hoping to become friends) "That was wrong. We
didn't. She's complicated. She's prickly".
* "I live in an adult World, but I'm a kid. I love the work. But I no
longer have a group of friends to hang out with regularly."
* (on education vs. career) "I was told that my going to college wouldn't
be good for my career. I think that's nonsense. It's good to empower
yourself by cutting yourself off from this business every once in a
while."
* "I have a huge, active imagination, [and] I think I'm really scared of
being alone; because if I'm left to my own devices, I'll just turn into
a madwoman."
* "My line about Arnold is that he doesn't get in his own way. He is not
apologetic about achieving his goals. And when you have that attitude,
it's amazing what one can accomplish. He wanted to give me relationship
advice. I was having trouble with a female friend, and he said, be
really forthright and do not accommodate her needs excessively. I took
his advice and we're not friends anymore. So there you go."
* "I was intimidated. There was the accent, the period of the film, and I
had to act badly. I kept laughing during those scenes because I was
god-awful. I've worked so hard to be good, and now I had to work even
harder to be bad" [On Stage Beauty (2004) ].
* "It's very difficult to judge yourself. Extreme self-doubt is only
attractive when it's fictionalized. Which is why people love the
movies. They are so reassuring."
* "I had an unwavering focus. My parents never condescended to me. As a
child, I always sat at the head of our dinner table. I was always given
a lot of responsibility. It was all rather amazing when I think about
it now."
* "I was a very confident child. I knew I wanted to be an actress from
the age of 5. 'Madonna (I)' was my original muse -- around 5, I saw her
perform on TV, and I realized that performing could be one's vocation.
Then, at 7 or 8, I realized that most actors don't make a lot of money,
and I amended my plan. But at 9, I seized my destiny. I made a formal
announcement to my parents that I had to be true to my art. Money or no
money, acting is my calling".
* "I never thought of myself as a child actor. I knew I was a kid, but
they weren't related. There was nothing I could do about being a kid,
and meanwhile I was an actress, and I had something to say in my
acting."
* "I think that everybody wants to create, to do something that feels
genuine and kinetic and spontaneous. I think actors want to surprise
themselves. When it's really good, you kind of transcend yourself, and
that happens infrequently. Very, very rarely. You might get one or two
of those moments on a film, say, and sometimes they don't even use the
takes where that happens. And I'm not really that moralistic about how
you get there."
* "I would like to have a family, but I'm trying not to make any plans,
because when I do, everything goes wrong." [On having children,
December 21, 2005]
* "I'll never wear a thong again. I'm a Speedo gal" - on her shocking
swimsuit scene in To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday (1996) .
* "Usually, my social life and my sanity and my health are the things
that are sacrificed" -on her non-stop work schedule.
* "The point of acting is to share, to connect. That's why I act. Acting
is the greatest answer to my loneliness that I have found."
