Heather Matarazzo

I smile so much at the theater my face hurts when I leave.

The minute I ever start thinking about what a character would do is the minute I bring my ego into play. It's the minute I'm putting a judgment on something.

I'm 100 percent Irish by birth, grew up Italian, and yet I constantly get cast as playing Jewish.

If I could do what Hilary Mantel does, I would probably do that. She is more intelligent and a better researcher and knows more what she's about than I do.

Tammy Faye, I really like the woman. I wanted to be her kid.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
