I just don't see myself as the heroine in my own narrative.

I like to put perfume on my pulse points, but I also love the way you can sense it - there is an atmosphere that comes from releasing a scent in to the world - it's a primal thing. I spray around me, not just on me, and it lingers in the room after I leave.

The thing I love about live performance the most, is that the doors are closed, the lights are turned down, and the audience has to be reverential to what's happening onstage.

Well, I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty, per se.

When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.

See the opportunity in the misstep.

You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.
