Welcome to a life of insecurity and paralyzing self-doubt.

There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care.

It's very important to me to love what I do. It was important to me to find a career that I truly enjoy. You can find something that sort of excites you, that's half the battle of life.

My best jokes are so cheap. All I do is say things sarcastically.

I've had to fight for roles and I've lost a hundred roles, but 'Smoking' and 'Smith' were phone calls. That's the dream.

I always enjoyed movies and in hindsight I realise how captivating they were to me.

I want to work with intelligent people and look for scripts that I think are intelligent and surprising.

Well, I guess most people would only know me from The O.C. I did a few episodes of Gilmore Girls before that. I was also a client on a lot of lawyer shows.

And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.

I feel like Hollywood is a big high school again. Seriously, Ashton Kutcher is the prom king.

Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore.

All you need is a dream to drive you nuts.

The market's been soft, .. and I think that's mostly a result of the new provisions in the collective bargaining agreement.

I met a lot of young girls modelling and they were like, 'Oh, I'm running around town and people are taking my picture', while I was saving receipts and learning how to be self-employed.

Your shallowness or greatness of the soul shows up in your aura.

Children can't help but create: they need to put their mind on the page, they want to paint, to sculpt, to write short stories.

I know not which I prefer the look of—those who attack us or that which defends us!

If you take care of your body, it'll take care of you.

The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.

I read two to three books a day anyway (I only sleep about two hours a night, and I read really fast).
