Im a spiritual person and a religious person. But for me, its all a personal thing. Im not someone wholl say, This is what I believe, and you should too! Its more of an internal, quiet, grounded, fulfilling thing for me.

Ive probably been drunk, maybe, four times in my entire life. Honestly. I guess Im a bit of a lightweight. I have a better time enjoying one glass of wine and just being relaxed. Its a bit of a control thing, I dont like not being in control of my words. I like to go to bed at 10pm, or 10.30pm, because I like to wake up at 7am. Maybe for some people drinking and drugs work for them, but Im not a tortured artist. I wouldnt turn to some sort of substance to make me feel better, Id turn to writing.

Im not an advocate for having sex or not having sex. Its a personal decision. Whenever you feel ready, youre ready.

What I look for in a guy is a really good sense of humour, obviously honesty and he had to be into music. Not necessarily a musician, but someone who has a deep passion and appreciation for music. Because music is such a huge part in my heart, nothing makes me happier than being able to share that with someone.

Alexander Payne is really amazing and I love all of his films. I think it would be fun to work with him. Wes Anderson as well. There are a lot of people out there that I would flip out to work with.

When people come up to me and say, You made it, I think, But Im not done yet. Not everyones heard my music. I want to be a household name.

I felt pressured once in a movie, but theres no way to escape it, whether youre in the spotlight or not. Sometimes I dont feel so great about myself, but I think thats pretty natural for most women. I like representing this, rather than the other extreme. I feel like the other extreme is represented enough. Im totally happy where I am.

I dont feel like I have constant media attention. It feels like a grey area to me because, and I know Chris agrees with this, I love what I get to do and I feel really lucky because I know how competitive it is out there and I feel lucky that I keep getting opportunities to work with really brilliant people, actors or filmmakers, etc. But its about the work and I try not to be outside of myself too much. I think it can help you if you are aware of that kind of side of celebrity and fame, but I try not to think about it at all too much, its such a weird concept being kept in a box and isolated and separated from everybody else. Its so weird.

Im not Nicole Richie. Im not like a toothpick, and I never will be. Im just a regular looking person and thats okay. Its taken awhile to come to grips with that since its definitely not the norm in my business. But like, who cares? If anything, that makes someone more special. Or at least thats what I tell myself.

A few months ago I felt really low, really sad. Depressed for no reason. Im a very positive person, and Ive always been glass-half-full. So it was like someone flipped a switch in me. The break-up added to what I was going through, but its not the complete reason. It definitely doesnt help if youre already in that place.

— Mandy Moore sad

Growing up in the public eye was really tough. When youre 14 and your body is changing, your life is changing, and people are watching every step you make, its really hard to deal with. But I was pretty lucky, people didnt watch me that closely. But for someone like Britney Spears, who did have her whole life scrutinized, it must have been terrible.

Ive had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and Im like, For what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark? I dont want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically, and Im really confident it will. Im a pretty patient person, and Ill wait until we find the right stuff.

Its somewhat of a foreign concept for me to care so much about a record, I really havent had the personal involvement on anything in the past, not like I do with this one.

As an actor, you have substantial control with the films you take on: If you never want to do an action movie, you dont have to. If you dont want to do nudity, you dont have to. Its case-by-case, project-by-project. For me all this went hand-in-hand with my music. I cant go off and do a movie with Diane Keaton, Mia Farrow, Billy Crudup or Tom Wilkinson and then come back to a record where I, as a creative matter, am absent.

Im a bit of a germ freak. I carry antibacterial and alcohol swabs with me when I travel. I dont think its a weird germophobia thing, but when you are shaking peoples hands, meeting lots of different people all the time, I dont want to get sick. Its as simple as that.

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasnt the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

It feels important to go school; not necessarily to further my education, but more like a hobby.

I dont want to take fame for granted because that is when you start to think you are better than everyone else. That is when you start thinking that you are someone that you are not.
