Quotes- "The most beautiful thing is telling someone you love them, because you can only love another person if you love yourself"
- "Kids can be vicious and they can be cruel. They can be very fickle - nice to you one minute and mean the next. That goes without saying for any teenager in high school or junior high, but especially if you're an actress and you make a film such as ["Welcome to the Dollhouse"] where you get ridiculed onscreen."
- On playing Dawn Weiner: "I felt for the character because sometimes people would pick on me and I would just go home and cry and my parents wouldn't even know. But I think everyone goes through those times when everybody hates them. If they deny it, they're a liar."
Awards- Independent Spirit Awards: Best Debut Performance, WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE (1997)
