Piper Perabo

I can understand in some sense, having played the character, how unimaginably frustrating it is for people to tell you that you can't love who you love, because you ain't going to change it, and so they have to get out of your way.

She tries to get a waitressing job for a while - I mean, she's looking for a while before she finds Coyote Ugly - and it's hard to get a waitressing job in the city.

There are a lot of people who wait tables. And especially because you can do it at night and you can do your work in the day, she and I had a very similar experience.

It's like a blind turn on a highway: You can't see what's coming, so you don't really know how to prepare.

I really like to just jump in a truck with your backpack and just drive and go somewhere.

I've never been one for sitting on beaches.

What I'd really like to do is do a film or two a year and then do theater in New York the rest of the year.

Nobody got Punk'd and he was still in his season for that show when we were filming. So the kids were very aware that it was filming and that was his show and they were very much on the lookout for that.

Well, usually when I finish one character, I'm looking for a role that's really different.

I got lost a lot, and I was a really bad waitress... I got lost on the subway.

There's no changing your mind about whom you love. That's part of the tough thing about being in love - it's sort of undeniable.

But Paulie gives all of herself away, and so to create a love like that and a person who would give themselves away was what I thought was going to be difficult. I was little scared of such a challenge.

That's what I think we're all looking for - an honest love wherever you can find it.

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.

Well, love is confusing at all ages, but especially when you're 17.

I'm not lost, they just moved my street.

You can only really open yourself up so far to someone that you don't truly love - you keep something back when you know somewhere in your gut that this relationship is going to be forever.

I went to college in Ohio, at Ohio University, and I graduated two years ago.

I mean, its hard to be an actor in the city - trying to make it as an actor - because you waitress all night, you get home really late and you're super tired and your feet hurt.

I can only pay my electric bill for my last two years on my acting.

So it was just funny to read a script that was just similar to what had been going on in my life.

I had just done what she does in the story just about a year earlier - I moved from New Jersey and came to New York and was working at a bar, and you know, trying to make it.

So I started to learn guitar right away.

I don't know how you get dressed if you live in Wales, because it's pouring rain and then it's hot sunshine, and then it might hail. It's just so confusing.

In Wales, it's eight different weathers in a day.
