I can't sit on grass without a blanket.
I can't stand when people say, Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. OK, how about I hate you because you said that'

Some people would call me bossy.
That's always at the heart and soul of Disney's features, the feeling of a family values.
The kids all knew me from Wayne's World. The grown-ups knew me after True Lies.
The reporter claimed he was going to write the article from my point of view. Instead, he made me sound like a little idiot. It made me never want to do another interview again.
