I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.
The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.
All that schooling never prepares you for the reality of life.
Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.
Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.
Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say, 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper' man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.
I collect clothes - they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.
I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly.
Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.
The thing is, I want to play real characters and not all girls can be pretty. The thing is, you get these girls who say 'I'm a character actor' then you see them in a role and nothing has really changed but the outfit.
The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
