My family has always called me 'Lay Lay,' and my dad used to always call me 'Dynamite Termite' because I was really short and small and I hated to be still. I would never stop.

It's more fun if you can control things like lighting and make special effects in the darkroom.

I need to decide whether to apply for college or delay it for a couple of years while I pursue some more acting projects. Right now I'm trying to sort things out, so I can make the right choices.

I like shopping, and I like to drive.

Do what you're passionate about.

I loved school. But when I started 'Party of Five' in the fifth grade, I was taken out of school and tutored on the set.

I don't want to be a 'teen star' because so many people don't ever grow out of that.

I always wanted to entertain. When I was little, I would sing in front of the mirror with a hairbrush or my sisters and I would make shows. I always wanted to be on TV.

The only way I can be there and really get into the character is if I'm her.

Let those who are awake awaken the dormant in every matter which desperately needs the liberating light of the truth or else the dormant will forever sleep!

People like to separate storytelling which is not fact from history which is fact. They do this so that they know what to believe and what not to believe.

I have looked on scenery as a strange and on scenery more grand, but on scenery at once so strange and so grand I have never looked and probably never shall again.

Once I went into songwriting, I figured I had to - I couldn't be a hellfire rock 'n' roller. But I could write hellfire lyrics.

I still can't get over the idea that respectable adults now go to see superhero movies and that such films get reviewed in the 'New Yorker.' Clearly, I am seriously out of step with the times.

We were both chumps. But you know what? It's not so bad when you're chumps together.

It is true thrift to use the best ingredients available and to waste nothing.

I don't own a jet, but I rent jets in my spare time. That's the quickest and most comfortable.

I actually went to college with Adam Sandler. He was a dramatic actor, too!
