I was a little adult for my age as a teenager, and I didn`t feel like I socially fit in with my peers. While I was talking about how awesome Twin Peaks was, the other kids were raving about Beverly Hills 90210.

I think the most important aspect of working a character is the empathy that you (interviewer T. Virgil Parker) were discussing. I think that you don`t have to like the person or agree with the person as an audience or an actor, but you certainly have to understand them fully.

(re: The Diary of Anne Frank) "We did [a pre-Broadway run] in Boston and I was hit by a car. So, I missed the opening and the couple of months of the show in New York. No one has said `Break a leg` to me ever since."

I`ve done teaching and things like that because if you`re acting, you`re becoming other human beings, and you need to have time to find who you are as well.

I`m not cool, quite the opposite. I`m a real geek.

Ultimately, the marriage (to Macaulay Culkin) was a choice made with our hearts, not with our heads.

His (Brad Renfro`s) enthusiasm and openness were contagious. He made mistakes, but he deserves to be remembered for more than that. He was one of the most genuine, caring and talented people I`ve ever known. Amazingly sharp. Sometimes a goof-ball. Loved to make you laugh.

Basically, I get paid to be crazy. I get paid to believe I`m someone else, live in a completely false reality, and believe it`s real. And that`s a little scary. And I do it to the best of my ability. But it`s kind of like swimming out to sea. You have to leave enough energy to swim back, and sometimes you get scared you swam too far.
