It's a grave thing, getting married. And it's easy to get swept up in the wrong things." "I always watch my movies and say, 'Oh God, this sucked,' or, 'There's a problem here,' or, 'I'm terrible in this scene!'" "It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that." - about her father's struggle with throat cancer. "I love men, even though they're lyin', cheatin' scumbags. I'm a very sexual person. I'm lucky if I get past six weeks. The make-or-break is six weeks." |
