I'd die if I was Madonna. I'd die. God, what a horrible way to live. And Michael Jackson! To be so famous and to feel so isolated. I feel so bad for them. I don't know how it feels, and I hope it never happens to me.Collection: Famous
I never count calories, but I eat so well.Collection: Diet

I don't want to be known as the Aerosmith chick, but it's fun to put on the boots and makeup and act like a tough girl.
Yoga makes me feel really sexy.
I came from a generation of actors for whom TV was taboo.
I hate to shop.
People think, 'Wow, you're an actress, so people must be really nice to you and kiss your ass.' NOBODY kisses my ass.
I think I can deceive people. I'm like, the nice, sweet girl when you meet me. And I don't have any bad intentions. But I'm a bad girl too.
I don't feel like a dream girl, but I think it's really nice. I guess a part of me wishes I got that sort of attention in my real life. Because in my real life, I'm this weird, dorky girl who just hangs out with her dog.
My favorite thing in the world is a box of fine European chocolates which is, for sure, better than sex.
I truly loved doing the videos, but it has been hard hearing all the time that you're just the Aerosmith chick.
I'm very uncomfortable with my body, and I'm not interested in people seeing it on screen.
I don't just want to be the girl boys get excited about, I have no desire for people to see me in a sexy way. I won't do nudity ever.
I'm reachable for people, I'm not out of their league. I'm just a normal girl.
I knew that I wanted to be a film actress and I never watched TV. I was always too busy.
What I learned from doing 'The Graduate' was it doesn't matter what the medium is... as long as the material is inspiring and the characters are well written.
I've been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old - I'm destined to be a mother.
When I was 18 years old I went to Shakespeare Company, the school, and I wrote a poem about my leaves - I felt like a tree that had no leaves. That is the life at 18.
I love cooking and one of my favourite things to do with my husband is open up the refrigerator.
I'm surprised by the fact that I like the word 'husband.' I thought I would hate it.
I didn't want to get married - I thought it was like a cult! It seemed so conservative and unnatural.
My attention since 'Clueless' has been on family, relationships, activism, the planet, and my career.
Clothes make me dizzy.
There was a point when I was so sick of this physical perfection thing that I thought it would be good for all young girls to eat burgers and sweets as a rebellion but I don't think that anymore because it's not healthy.
I've had so many crushes on gay boys.
From 19 to 28 there was a lot of turmoil in my life, but in a stuck way. Then, around 28, my life started to get shaken up. I realized I wanted to grow more and that anything that wasn't working in my life, I could fix it. I feel like I came into my womanhood. And that was when I got married.
I don't have time for friends.
I think any time anybody says something nasty about you, it's hard to deal with it.

One of the things that often frustrates me with cookbooks is that there are one or two recipes that are really good and the rest of them are not so great.
When I was 8 years old, my brother was making the noises of the animals I was eating, so I decided to go vegetarian. Then I would give up because I was 8.

I think that the film Clueless was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness.Collection: Funny
Nothing's changed my life more. I feel better about myself as a person, being conscious and responsible for my actions and I lost weight and my skin cleared up and I got bright eyes and I just became stronger and healthier and happier. Can't think of anything better in the world to be but be vegan.Collection: Funny Inspirational

Being vegan helped me realize I can say and do what I believe is right. That's powerful.Collection: Powerful
I know what it feels like to be hurt,and I don't want to cause that pain to any other person or creature. But somehow, in society, we numb ourselves in order to make money or to feel better about ourselves, such as with cosmetics or food. We say to ourselves, I'm going to use this animal. I'm going to say it doesn't have much worth so that I can allow myself to do these cruel things. And that just isn't fair.Collection: Hurt
My boyfriend calls me 'princess', but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'.Collection: Funny
