I can't imagine having a real personal thing, like divorce and marriage, all those things, being in the public eye. I try to not talk about anything personal, and then nobody has the fire to throw back at you, like 'You said this back then!'

I can't wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake.

When you're little, you're open to things. It's not like you get into this rehearsed zone when you're a child. At first you play different sides of yourself. And I think it will be really exciting one day to have a character to go into that's not anything like me whatsoever.

A lot of people my age, they grew up with me onscreen. I think that's helped keep a certain amount of longevity. When you grow up with a person, you feel like you know them.

My grandmother lives with my mother in a gorgeous house in the San Fernando Valley. I am afforded these luxuries, and I'm very young.

When I was little, I put on plays for my family at Sunday dinner, and I would direct them and have all my cousins, my brother, and my best friends in it. I was a very imaginative and theatrical child and wasn't afraid of being in front of a camera. It was like make-believe to me.

I think most human beings go through some sort of depression in their life. And if they don't, I think that's weird.

I'd like to grow up and be beautiful. I know it doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.

I like people more undone than made up. Patricia Arquette is the ultimate. She's not anorexic or perfectly tan, she's not trying to be anything but what she is, and that's the most sexy thing.

I don't want to be 'box-office girl,' but I don't want to be 'that indie girl' either.

I think it's best to date someone who doesn't do what you do.

I've always used my own personal emotions and things that I've gone through in my life to build a character. The work that I do before a film feels almost like therapy, between me and whoever I'm playing.

-
When I go away to do a movie, I bring the blanket I've had since I was a little girl. It helps me sleep. I also always bring my laptop so I can E-mail friends. And I bring my dog, Beauty, wherever I can.

Everybody smokes! Models, actresses, everyone! Don't they realize that it's gross? I understand it's an addiction, but it still pains me to see my friends do it.
Kirsten Dunst
-
I've always had a process that I do before I even get to set or go to the location. I work privately, and it almost feels like therapy between me and who I'm playing. So I have this inner life that's there and it gives me a confidence, too, that when I'm playing the role I know every question.

I have gotten so many tickets. I hope I don't get my license revoked.

Doing 'All Good Things' really felt like I was acting for myself rather than anyone else. It gave me a freedom I'd never had before, or knew I had, to do whatever I want to, and to argue my opinions and not just feel like the cute girl on set or the girl in a boy's club. I figured out how I could be both. And it's been different ever since.

You can never get enough of 'Jeopardy.'

I was a big Guns N' Roses fan when I was seven. My friend who lived across the street had long dark curly hair and I had long blonde hair, so I'd dress up as Axl and she'd be Slash, and we'd rock out in front of the mirror singing 'Patience.'
Kirsten Dunst
-
I never read comics as a kid. I guess I was lazy and watched cartoons instead.
Kirsten Dunst
-
It's always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you've affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.
Kirsten Dunst
-
I don't find I'm manic at all. I'm very chill.
Kirsten Dunst
-
It's such a private thing - 'my process' - I can just say that the work that I do is like therapy between me and the character.
