Don't date the captain of the football team; be the captain of the football team.

I'm so proud of myself. I worked with anger, with the darkest things in the world.

When I stepped out from doing films and had a dark period, I never did anything dark on a set, so I never made enemies on a set. I never was a bad girl on a set; I always considered films a really sacred space, so when I had my problems, I had them very much away from the film community.

You’ve got to be prepared for the names they are going to call you compared to your male peers… You will be a floozy and a slattern. He will be virile and a ladies’ man. You will be a freakshow, a retching wretch, a sloppy drunk. He will be charismatic, vainglorious, a ferocious drunk and Dionysian. You will be indiscriminate and desperate. He will be generous, tortured and driven.

A good stylist knows that and is not going to push you to wear something that you're not comfortable with.

I have a deathly fear of mediocrity and that nips at my heels and gets me into a lot of trouble.

Making good records tastes good in your mouh. And when that record sells, it tastes even better.
