BiographyFriends and FamilyDante [Brother] :: Pia [Sister] :: Rafael [Brother] :: Sarah [Mother] :: Ralph [Father] :: Gaby Hoffmann [Friend] :: Johnny Depp [Friend]Trivia and QuotesQuotes "I can be young and cute when I want to be, and I can be really mature when I want to be. It`s kind of weird, like I`m the incredible changing girl, which is good because I can relate to adults and to people my age." [1995] For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn`t have a mirror in my room. I still can`t sit in a restaurant or someplace where I can catch my reflection. I get so paranoid. I certainly hope I`m not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause. I don`t have any training, and I don`t believe in training. Of course, people who don`t have any training always say that. I don`t think I`ll be reformed until I`m well into my fifties. I like playing people who are so afraid and ashamed of who they are and so disgusted by everyone around them that they decide to become the ultimate extreme of what they`re afraid they are. I spend a lot of time with my mother. When I`m doing movies, she`s always with me. We spend days being bored in an apartment together waiting for someone to call and say I`m needed for a shot. Because we`re together so much, we have to get along. We have to find ways to get to know each other. We`ve gone through a lot of stuff, you know, and I think we`re pretty close. If I hadn`t gone into acting, I would have been one of those weird runaways on Hollywood Boulevard. No, it`d be uglier. I`d probably be dead. I`m very shy. I can`t even act that well when the camera`s not on. I get really embarrassed. Remember who you are. It`s really okay to be who you are.Trivia Attended Glenfield middle school in Montclair, New Jersey.
