When I'm acting in a film that I'm not producing, I stay to myself.

I think that we need to look at ourselves and look at the way women perpetuate misogyny. Because at a certain point you can't blame other people for things in your life. I've felt that most of the misogyny I've witnessed in my life - a lot of it, yes, it comes from men, but most of it professionally has come from other women.

I would love to fly privately, but unfortunately, I don't. I don't summer anywhere either.

I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.

I'm an actor who hates dialogue and the present day and reality.

I think I've had a fairly meandering career. Because I did start so young, I think that I've always chosen my parts based on what's interesting to me and what I think would be challenging or fun, or someone I've always wanted to work with or a place I've always wanted to work in or a topic.

If an audience doesn't get that [Black Snake Moan] is a movie about overcoming exploitation, it could come across as incredibly misogynistic. That would be the worst thing in the world for me.
