Personal quotes:

"It was a great kiss. It even had a saliva trail." [on her kiss with Selma Blair in Cruel Intentions] - US Weekly. Issue 295.

"It's been hard to be a show in L.A. and be trendsetting, because the fashions are in New York... Not to mention that most actresses are all, give or take, the same size, between five-two and five-five, and 95 to 125 pounds."

"People tell me not to do a soap, but it was a great learning experience because I became familiar with the technical aspects of the business. Besides, look who came out of soaps - Julianne Moore, Demi Moore, Tommy Lee Jones, Parker Posey, Kathleen Turner. All amazing people."

(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's always 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 gets 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."

[on posing nude] "Right now I can't picture posing, but I don't believe in saying never... There might be a time when I got pregnant and felt really beautiful and wanted to have a nude picture."

(On being 'skinny') "How can women be as thin as we are? We have personal trainers to work us out. We have specially prepared meals."

[on the Internet] "I got a computer and I'm learning how to use it. I collect antique books, so I used it to get my copy of 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses,' and I use it for travel, to look up customs. I went to Fiji, and I looked up all this stuff before I went, like 'Don't wear a hat in someone's house because it's rude, and don't wear shoes.' You've got to think there's something better I can do with my time than log on to the Internet and say, 'Ooo, let's find out about me!' I think that would frighten me a little bit."

"It makes me think of women who don't shave their legs." - on what the word "feminist" means

"One of the greatest gifts my job has given me is that my mother, who gave up her entire life for me, doesn't have to work any more. I'm now in a position to repay her for her devotion."

"I am militant about drugs. You want to do 'em? You're out of my life."

"I would go to college to be a journalist. I always wanted to write for Time or Newsweek." (On what she would do if she wasn't acting.)
