- Any time I'm playing opposite somebody in a love relationship, if I know them it's easier, because I know how much I can trust them.
- I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter.
- To me, a great love story is a great love story, and it doesn't matter what gender is involved.
- I walked into the audition and was like, 'I'm from New Jersey, I work in a bar, I play guitar - there's no reason you shouldn't give me this part. And it worked! - On auditioning for Coyote Ugly.
