There are a lot of us little gypsies out there that need to go and find another place you know. A safer, healthier or just a different venue in order to develop and find ourselves. I am so lucky to live the life that I do.

I loved the world of roller derby because I thought it was such an empowering metaphor, that you get out there and do it. It's such a rocker, athletic, capable, cool exhibitionist sport; it's about this great sort of camaraderie.

I've always loved butterflies, because they remind us that it's never too late to transform ourselves.

I really want to understand the mind so I can be more comfortable with the way people are. Being comfortable with people is incredibly important.

But in some ways, I'm like an old woman - lived it, seen it, done it, been there, have the T-shirt.

I grew up in a family that was multifaceted, sexually oriented, and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working, my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

I make movies. I have a passion. Puppies and daisies don't accomplish anything. That's not me at all.
