# There’s nothing better than being a badass, and encouraging other girls out there to be badasses in their own right.”
# “Everyone wants to be famous but when you get there you’re not so sure!”
# “You’ve got a better chance of seeing God than seeing Eliza Dushku nude. That’s my stuff, nobody else’s. I don’t want my little brother to turn on his computer and have naked me as his screensaver. And, speaking of which, what’s up with people sending naked pictures of me to my uncle? That’s so gross. In the first place, the pictures are fake. In the second place, sending an uncle pictures of his niece? Please.”

I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and snacks everyday, all day.” [on pressure to have the "Hollywood body"]
# “It’s easy to play the bad girl: You just do everything you’ve been told not to do, and you don’t have to think about the consequences, because it’s only acting.”
