Let's face it. I'm an open book.

Life is not for the faint of heart.

I am a hooker with a heart of gold.

I just never get into trouble. It's not my thing.

Existence itself is disconcerting and disorienting.

I definitely would rather take a nap than get angry.

I'm a movie star. Can I talk to my entertainment lawyer?

I don't really feel like I need to be a teenager ever again.

Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying.

I would love to option 'Crying of Lot 49 and turn it into a movie.

I would love to option 'Crying of Lot 49' and turn it into a movie.

Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?

It's not easy trying to navigate your internal world in the public eye.

My hair is such a statement that it's like a neon sign asking for trouble.

I'm a text artist. It's an unsung art form because it's so ahead of its time.

I'm not someone who went to acting school - I was just out of the gate, doing it.

I always see the absurdity in most situations. It's my experience of how life works.

Remember when we didn't live in the future? When we were young, it was not the future yet.

I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.

I have a television, but it's not connected to anything. I watch everything on my computer.

From the first instant I met her, I wanted to be Nora Ephron. I just really wanted to please her.

Over time, you realize that even the things that are most high stakes kind of resolve themselves.

It's a wild thing, that people have the ability to help each other by just relating to one another.

My car is always black. I really struggle with red cars. I don't want to attract too much cop attention.

Your trade becomes very much impacted by the quality of your life experiences and your capacity to process them.

In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.

I have a pretty fancy facialist, this woman Dale Breault. Getting older, it's a good thing to have a serious facialist.

I do have an outsider's complex of getting made fun of. I was made fun of as a kid, and I don't have the stomach for it.

The world at large doesn't always make sense to me, and there are safe havens. Linda Manz in 'Out of the Blue' is one of them.

I grew up in Manhattan, and I've always had all kinds of people around me. I've always had a very 'live and let live' point of view.

As a rule people don't think other people on drugs are funny. They think they are tragic. They have a point, but I still had the funny.

There's something great about all your worst fears coming true and being said about you. There's a tremendous liberation on some level.

I'd love to go to school, but every time I try I get a movie. That's actually how I get work: I enroll. That's like my good luck charm.

I'm somebody who believes in funny things, and laughing, but I do like for them to come from a place that addresses the human condition.

Life is a wildly transient thing with people coming into your life and dropping away. It definitely takes work to maintain relationships.

As wild as I was, when the cops show up, and suddenly you're being handcuffed, it's so deeply shocking and terrifying, the loss of freedom.

I have a deep compassion for the idea that it's okay to be myself. The idea that anything 'other' is bad and wrong and broken is so wildly off base.

The interesting trick of comedy, in a lot of ways, is to have both the comedy and the grounding of the real thing. You get a real sense of a human being.

I will take the subway and look at certain women and think 'God, that woman's story will never be told. How come that lady doesn't get a movie about her?'

I adore Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jason Biggs. Eddie was the only one who called me when they were doing 'American Reunion' and told me, 'You need to do this.'

I'm really enjoying growing up. I feel like so much of my life was in an existential crisis when I was young, and I don't feel as bogged down by that anymore.

No, but it is something I really enjoy speaking about. You've got to do something with all the books you've read, so you might as well imagine you've optioned them.

I learned that if you're going to be a troublemaker, you don't want a ton of witnesses, because there's inevitable fallout from living like you're in 'Lord of the Flies.'

I was this kid who had been raised in New York, and now all of a sudden, my mother decided that she was a Jewish divorcee and therefore she should be living in Miami Beach.

There are epic downsides to living a somewhat public life. The upshot of that is there's nothing to hide. It's a relief in a way. There's nothing about me that can't be said.

I started wearing all black around the time I got into Nirvana. I first heard 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' when I was about 12, and I remember jumping on my bed, so excited about it.

The person sending ironic text messages has no idea that their voice does not sound so great in text. There's no dry sense of humor in a text. It comes off as a little bit shitty.

That's usually how I get to know strangers - get inappropriately touchy. Once they've experienced the awkwardness of you being way too close for comfort, after that, it all gets easy.

It's such a weird thing: to sit and look at yourself is so distracting to the psyche. It would be like me standing in front of a mirror and looking at myself all day, trying to find a flaw.

Rather than spend so much time wondering if I'm going to get hired, or is it a problem that I've got this black-tar history, I've just got to keep doing what I'm doing and try to be decent.
