Personal quotes

(About her father) - "Just because you donate sperm does not make you a father. I don't have a father. I would never give him the credit or acknowledge him as my father."

[On Being A Teen Idol] "This is what I've waited for my whole life."

(High school) "My biggest complaint is school when it's Send-the-roses day, somebody?lways left out. I always got roses, but I would give them to someone who hadn't gotten any."

(Horror Movies) "I'm always the one who get's killed. And I want it to be really gory. Body parts all over the place. Mangled! "

[on Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon]: "They're unbelievable. They're an inspiration to young love. "

[On job pressures] There's so much pressure on all of us right now. On Katie [Holmes], on James [Van Der Beek], and myself, to do these movies, and do as much as you can because there is the slight feeling that one-day your phone will stop ringing. It's not about the craft, per se. It's so easy to fall for it all because people remind you constantly that as fast as it comes, it can go. And I think there is this sort of paranoia, this need to keep working. And I know that I felt it, and for the first three years of the show, I never had more than a week off, except for Christmas. That was it.
