Quotes
    "An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition."

    "Having seen Rocket Science I feel maybe more timid than I have ever felt in my life because several people think I should be this really intimidating person. I don't want people to think I'm that big of a bitch in real life but I get very sheepish because I want to differentiate myself." - Playing Ginny in Rocket Science

    "The great thing for me about Ginny was what a surprise she was, in that she's this teenage girl who is the most articulate and confident and powerful character maybe in the whole movie," she says. "So often, when you read teenage girl [characters], they're very vapid and flighty and are just there to look pretty." - what she liked about the character Ginny

    "I remember trying to smuggle me into a place before we resigned ourselves to sitting in an outdoor cafe. We tried to go in and be like 'come-on. How bad could it be?'." - about hanging out in Baltimore for Rocket Science shoot

    "That's awful! One has a serious girlfriend and one has a wife! I can't." - On who is the best kisser out of her Marc Pease co-stars (Ben Stiller or Jason Schwartzman)

    "The very first thing that I shot was doing vocal warm-ups with Ben's character. He's my music teacher and I thought I was going to throw up all day. We had to do a-capella vocal warm-ups, just scales on whatever syllable he felt like saying. He just kept going and improving. It was like poobah, and peebo and moopie. Whatever he'd say, I'd have to sing that. Everybody thought it was so funny but I'm like 'I'm going to kill you'." - On the first day of shooting The Marc Pease Experience

    "I do have a passion for theater. But I try my best not to stalk people." - On differences between Anna and her Camp character - Fritzi, 2003
