- "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."
- On kissing Brad Pitt on Interview with a Vampire: ""It was horrible, I hated it. Brad and Tom were like my big brothers on the set, so it was like kissing your big brother - totally gross."
- "On every film I do, whenever there are other girls my age, I think it's definitely up to me to set the pace. That's because I've had a lot of experience and I think there's always a certain amount of professionalism that should be maintained."
- "I have never done a drug in my life. I tried smoking once. Hated it. I don't want to infect myself with cancer."

- "I think one of my credit cards is corporate for my company, Wooden Spoons Productions. I don't know; my financial adviser does that. I don't handle that shit."
- "The Virgin Suicides showed I could nail a very difficult character, while Bring It On brought a great deal of joy to young girls. These are the beautiful rewards of being an actress".

- "Why would I cry over a boy? I would never waste my tears on a boy. Why waste your tears on someone who makes you cry?"
- "I think vegetarians - for a lot of them - it's about a lack of commitment to life and relationships. There are some who just like the fact that they're controlling something in their life."

- "I run the treadmill whenever I can do it with weights." (on staying in shape)
- On turning down the Angela role in American Beauty: "When I read it, I was 15 and I don't think I was mature enough to understand the script's material. I didn't want to be kissing Kevin Spacey. Come on! Lying there naked with rose petals?"
- "And in the next film they've got to bring in another female character. Just give me the acting; she can do all the falling and fighting."
- "Whenever I have to smoke for a character, I make sure they're fake cigarettes. It's a terrible habit, and I can't believe kids still want to do it."

- "I don't try to be sexy, but if you are sexy it comes out. If you're not, you're not."
- "I really wanted the role [in Spiderman] because I knew it would give my career a boost, especially in foreign markets where I don't feel I'm that well known".
- "You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you're excited for the day? That's one of my main goals in life."
- "Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don't you? Just tell me so I can get over you."
