Sometimes I just really can't shake the feeling that I am really just a little girl from Tennessee.

Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.

I had someone correct my grammar once on a blind date, and within the first 10 minutes the date was over. You just don't correct somebody's grammar. That's just not okay. I'm from Tennessee, so I probably say everything wrong. I might have said 'ain't,' or something like that.

I got a role in this movie called Freeway playing this really angry, aggressive, violent young woman who believed wholeheartedly in the truth. I had such satisfaction afterward, and I thought, That's what I want to do.

Hey, don't put that glass on the table without a coaster. Haven't I taught you better?

I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy.
