I would never imagine a mate based on a certain sex or race.

I was working with real artists [in the Rum Diary], and that's difficult to do and very rare, in this industry, ironically.

When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me. I think that finding a character, relating to her and making her as real as possible means forgetting all of that stuff and just trying to find the truth, in that particular character's words.

I was raised by my father; I was daddy's girl.

You have to do something else by 30 years old, if you haven't found another way to explore your own identity and make something of it.

I think there's an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal, like the 'Saw' movies.

I'm pretty confusing. But I do have an oil rig in my back yard.
