  • When asked why is she always playing teenagers, during a press junket for Mermaids (1990): Like, I’m nineteen. What am I supposed to do, play a judge?!
  • I read biographies of the greats, and they were so messed up that I thought I’d better mess myself up. But I couldn’t. I’m too small.
  • For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.
  • [on Heathers (1989)] It’s a brilliant piece of literature, and I call it literature because it really is. I held it up next to “Catcher in the Rye” and all the great books that I’ve read.
