I have some road rage inside of me. Traffic, especially in L.A., is a pet peeve of mine.

I'm not computer literate. I e-mail. I know how to get on the Web, but I haven't crossed over into the internet world. I'm old-fashioned, I guess.

I got caught kissing. Like by my parents. It was so horrible. It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing.

I have a tightly edited closet. I like what I like. And I repeat a lot. But I'm always comfortable in jeans - I feel like I can really do anything when I'm in them.

Definitely trust yourself. Work hard. Be honest with yourself. And life can be joyful. It is joyful. Just give it your all, and it's all going to work out.

I don't always take off my make-up before bed, and I like pizza at two in the morning.

This business is so unstable, and you never really know where you're going to be.

I'm not the easiest person to live with. I'm kind of a slob.

We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true.

With age, I've gained confidence.

It's kind of fun being the cute, little one. In fact, I'm finding it hard to grow out of that.

I'm so spoiled - I must have a Starbucks vanilla latte every day.

We had such a wonderful set of circumstances in Wilmington. Yes, the four of us became famous literally overnight, but we were in a small town and we always knew when people were coming down. We always knew when to behave.

I'm definitely a messy person... I know where everything is but I just can't organize. I don't make lists and find scripts on the laundry machine, and under my bed, or in the bathroom, kitchen. It's bad, I really need to take control.

In North Carolina nobody bothers us; we're all about concentrating on the work or our auditions that we're trying to get a flight out for. So all that crap is not something that I'm confronted with on a daily basis.

When I was a little girl - if I could have - I would have gone a year without washing my hair. I hated it, to the point where my sisters had to pay me to wash my hair. I think, after experiencing that, I like to wash it every day.

When 'Top Gun' came out, my sisters were like, 'Oh, my God, 'Top Gun!' Tom Cruise!' And I very confidently said, 'I'm going to marry him one day.' It wasn't like, 'How do I get to Tom Cruise?' It was just, 'I think I'm going to marry him. Why not? He'll like me. I'm fun.'

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

Because we're actors we can pretend and fake it, but I'd rather the intimate investment was authentic.

Grief changes shape, but it never ends.

Artists are losing the choice to use film. People have a love for it - the grain, how it feels, the texture.

But I did 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.' They made a cereal out of it, so once you've had a cereal, it doesn't get much more surreal than that. Surreal cereal.

I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

Money doesn't mean anything to me. I've made a lot of money, but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account. I give lots away and live simply, mostly out of a suitcase in hotels. We all know that good health is much more important.

I've had the opportunity to work with so many great directors. Different styles, as well, like Gus Van Sant. He just does the casting and the milieu and let's you do your thing, quietly. Bertolucci, who can talk to you about your internal world in quite a creative way or just say, 'Well, put your hand over here.'

You know what, I'd done an interview show when I was like 16 or 17. One of my first jobs. I did interviews for this television show in Toronto.

I try not to think about my life. I have no life. I need therapy.

I have definitely been curious and involved in the process; even as a young actor. I was always looking at where the camera was, what story it was telling. And as my experience grew, I wanted to know even more.

I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.

It's fun to be hopelessly in love. It's dangerous, but it's fun.

Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.

Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.

You need to be happy to live, i don't.

I used to have nightmares that they would put 'He played Ted' on my tombstone.

But, you know, it's still a drag to get your picture taken when you're eating a sandwich. It's a downer.

Eventually, it came to this place like, 'I'd like to direct, but I need to find the story to tell.' 'Man of Tai Chi' became the story to tell.

I'm a meathead. I can't help it, man. You've got smart people and you've got dumb people.

Here comes 40. I'm feeling my age and I've ordered the Ferrari. I'm going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.

Mortality is very different when you're 20 to when you're 50.

People were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot.

Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don't have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective.

It's easy to become very self-critical when you're an actor. Then you get critiqued by the critics. Whether you agree with them or not, people are passing judgment on you.

When the people you love are gone, you're alone.

I'm sorry my existence is not very noble or sublime.

Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.

Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. It must have some effect somewhere.

I want to make a good, solid kung fu movie.

How do people relate to movies now, when they're on portable devices or streaming them? It's not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.

When I don't feel free and can't do what I want I just react. I go against it.

I'm a meathead, man. You've got smart people, and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb.
