To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.

For me, stripping was an unusual kind of escape. I had nothing to escape but privilege, but I claimed asylum anyway. At twenty-four, it was my last chance to reject something and become nothing. I wanted to terrify myself. Mission accomplished.

There's something magical about spending a Sunday night watching real people at a deli, then watching fake people pretending to be real on TV, then engaging in (arguably) false interaction with (arguably) real people on the Internet. Never at any prior point in time has this been possible.

The primary job for women in Hollywood is still super-attractive actress. That is the most high-profile women's job in Hollywood.

I think it's pretty obvious that women's stories are not necessarily being told in Hollywood and women are not necessarily being put in the leadership positions they deserve in mainstream film.

I think sometimes people really require the satisfaction of closure.

In the past, I'll admit, I've enjoyed being compared to the protagonists in my screenplays.
