I know a lot of people that have had fake Twitters... actors and musicians that I know. It's sort of a problem. There are all these people that sign up thinking that they're getting somebody's real thoughts when it's just some guy.
A lot of people work out to be skinny. That's so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman.
If I could give my teenaged self any advice, it would be 'Calm down!'
I've never pursued a role. I always hear stories about actors going after parts and I'm, like, 'How do they do that?' It seems so weird. It seems like a total myth or something.
I was doing about five movies a year for many years. I was just so tired. I walked around feeling like a Mack truck hit me.
I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I'm the same person.
I tend to like simple music. And clever, succinct lyrics. Songs that don't try to be more than they need to to be effective, to stir up something emotionally within you.
I've always been really picky about roles and make a point of reminding myself that it's not about the money - because, obviously, there's a lot of money to be made in this business if you're willing to do anything.
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
I'm wary about this thing about being in the generation of social networking where people are like, 'I am my musical taste.' I am not just a collection of music. Or a collection of movies. I think that's a thing that people romanticize: 'Oh my God, she likes this band so she is a dream.'
I don't know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn't even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.
I don't think there are that many awesome roles out there, whether we're talking about movies or TV.
I like to make colored xeroxes of things. I clip out pictures of Liza Minelli and her husband from magazines and I fax them to people anonymously.
One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.
I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.
Do your eye shadow first, then your foundation. That way, you can clean up any mess without starting all over again.
Growing up in Hollywood meant there were a lot of film stars' kids at my school - but no conspicuous wealth. It wasn't cool to show off that you had money.
When I exercise, I like to take lots of different classes because I want to really apply myself and feel like I'm learning a new skill. Not that I ever want to have to demonstrate any of those skills!
