Born: September 3, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA

[re Woody Allen] I think my parents had “Getting Even”, which was one of his collections, and when I read it I couldn’t believe it. I thought they were the funniest things that I had ever read, but also felt–this is the thing they say about great poetry or something–it’s like your own thoughts brought back to you with added majesty. It was like my own funny ideas brought back, and he just seemed so smart and funny, and I just felt so connected to it from that point forward.

[on advice that she avoid playing nudes scenes in future]: That’s good advice, but I’m telling you, typecasting is typecasting. And I mean, look at Charlotte Rampling. She’s a brilliant actress, and she’s still getting naked for films. If I look like that at her age, I’ll flaunt it.

“The same role had been offered to Emilio a year earlier but the financing fell through. This time, Emilio was on another project, so Oliver Stone offered it to me. It was the break of my life, and I knew it. But it was a strange experience, because we filmed in the Philippines, less than 100 miles away from where my dad had filmed Apocalypse Now (1979). People say I look like him – now, here I was, not only making a picture about Vietnam the way he did, but also narrating it the way he did. And, like him, I had a moment that came close to death, when I fell halfway out of a helicopter, but was caught just in time by one of the actors.” – On Platoon (1986).

Born: September 3, 1984 in Roseau, Minnesota, USA

[on Friday Night Lights (2004)]: I grew up on a farm, and Lucas in the jungles of Alabama, so I think we adapted very well. It’s just a lot that these guys are holding on their shoulders at such a young age. There’s a lot they’re dealing with, the town pressure or support, their home life, all of that causes a sense of internal insecurities. These guys are realizing how crazy it is that they’re going through all this at such a young age.
