these are old Michelle quotes, but here ya go

"I never go out without a passport. You never know when somebody will sweep you off your feet and take you away."

"I made lots of mistakes and I learned how to fix them and move forward."

"I'm really drawn to sadness and loneliness, in music and in people."

"In kindergarten I was a bit of a tart. I used to go around lifting my skirt and flashing my panties."

"It was brilliant finally having all this time to myself. I'd dreamt about it for so long and now it was really happening. I was on such a high, it didn't bother me that I hardly knew anyone. I'd done it. In fact I was so proud of everything I'd achieved I kept telling everyone I met: 'I live alone....and I haven't killed myself yet!'"

"Living at home with your parents is a really good deal. I might have a surrogate family with the Dawson's gang, but no-one can replace the real thing."

"I wanted to fight Mike Tyson. I wanted to be the first female heavyweight champion of the world."

"I think that Jen is one of those girls who isn’t easy to make surface judgements about. If you take the opportunity to look past that, you’ll find somebody who’s just as vulnerable and complex as all the rest of the characters on the show."

"All the mistakes, all the good times and bad times have really shaped me and changed me."

"How can you not be passionate about the world that going on around you? It amazes me, shocks me and horrifies me that the kids, teenagers, people my age aren't more curious and aren't more concerned."

"I think its is really rare in this profession that you come across something that has the opportunity to alter somebody's perception, and I would jump at it anytime. I'm absolutely thrilled to have the age group that watches Dawson's Creek have their eyes opened by something that I find to be intellegent, provocative and necessary."

"I was 16 and so uncomfortable with my body. I was not excited about the comments or the photographs that [fame] elicited. I was a mess."

"It's a rotten time to be a girl right now, and the media makes it harder. Every girl who read that book [Prozac Nation] is waiting for the movie. For me, the struggle for health--for mental health--is what makes it so compelling."

"I picked up Jonathan Franzen's book of essays, How to Be Alone, the other day. I was like, 'If you're going to tell me how to be alone, I will definitely pay $15 for your book.'"

[On interviews]''The process is immediately adversarial. You're wondering about my history and my problems, and I'm wondering why you're wondering. I'm not saying that this is your case or that this is my case, but the mythology of the relationship is so strange. The interviewer wants to rip it apart, and the interviewee wants to give less and less and less. But it's under the guise of salad and tea. It's all very funny.''

[On her collection of rare books]"Some are so old, you can't really read them. But I touch them. And I smell them. And I run my hands over them. And I have an affair with them. It's about as interesting as my sex life gets."

"This is my first year being able to vote, and I'm just ********** thrilled. I've been paying taxes since I was 15 and have always been really upset about the fact that I couldn't vote."
"I was extremely nervous the first time I kissed someone on camera. I had never kissed anybody before. It was sweet, perfect, idealistic and everything a first kiss should be."

"I'm a big, big fan of road trips. I take them very seriously. I have the big truck, fuzzy dice, air freshener, road-trip hat and a CB radio."

"The Internet terrifies me! I don't understand it! I have a computer, but it's seldom used. I can't type, and I can't navigate the Web."

"I loved Winnie the Pooh when I was really young. Dirty Dancing was an important part of my youth, too - the whole sexual awakening that happened."

"I wanted to be a boxer at first. I was an exercise fanatic. I really liked boxing and wanted to be the first female heavyweight champion of the world, but then I realized I was never going to be taller than 5'3", and it crushed my dream. Acting isn't sloppy seconds, though. I am really glad to have found it."
