It’s impossible to get along with David Geffen — his mind just moves so quickly. He’s always brighter than everybody else.

I think we can all agree that sleeping around is a great way to meet people.

Music is passionate. It’s love for me.

It really bothers me when people don’t use coasters. Particularly on my table.

You know my heart couldn’t take it.

My ability to turn good news into anxiety is rivaled only by my ability to turn anxiety into chin acne.

[on her mom] She always knows what to do to cheer me up. Whenever I feel down, my mom will take me shopping or out to lunch. she’s 100% there for me, and always has been. My family keeps me going no metter what.

Part of being a sex symbol is very flattering and it does help you get success in the business – but only to a point. You’re stuck with that moniker forever, and it does cloud people’s imagination. They just can’t see you being able to do anything else.

I’d like to win an Oscar.

I do worry – a lot.
