Other trivia:

have formed the Blue Sphere Alliance Production Company at The Lex
Theater in Hollywood.
Neve is a spokeswoman for the Tourette Syndrome Association (her
younger brother Damian has the disease). You can read more about Tourettes Syndrome
here.
Neve does not like scary movies! - She screams a lot when watching them and gets
nightmares afterwards for weeks! - But she loves to make them!
She believes in ghosts and she claims that her house in Laurel Canyon is haunted. A
woman was murdered in it around 1991 (before Neve bought it!) and Neve says that
both she and other people visiting have seen a mystery woman that wasn't supposed to
be there.
Neve was picked on in high school and she had a low self esteem because of that. They
even made a smear song about her, she claims.
She uses yoga and meditation to keep her calm and to give her energy. Her dog is a
shi-tzu named Buster who has a slow heartbeat that makes him rather timid.
She loves to sing, dance (duh!), swim and go horseback riding.
She is extremely ticklish especially under her right shoulder blade.
She was nicknamed 'Fog Horn' by her co-stars on "Party of Five".
She has a very dark sarchastic sense of humor that a lot of people find a bit
offensive, and Neve often has to restain herself in order to avoid offending too much or
too many. She also has a lot of humor and laughs easily and often - with a cute, slightly
horsey laugh.
"Party of Five" is filmed 10 months a year, 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, which makes
it very hard work.
Neve Drives a '97 Porshe 911 Carrera which is aventine green and has a little
dent right beside the left headlight.
