I've never been driven by box office.

It took a while for me to be able to sit in a room of studios and financiers and say, "I'm not some hoity-toity actress looking for a vanity deal - I really know how to make a film!" In order to do that, you've got to break your f-cking back.

You are only as great as the opportunities that are given to you.

I'd rather put on a pair of jeans and get on my Harley and act like a guy.

I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing, and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.

Right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights. I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself [if I got married before they could].

Looks alone won’t get you that far. It may get you in the door, but there’s always somebody younger, somebody prettier. You have to rely on something else.
