I should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.

I love changing what I look like because I always feel super strange whenever I do watch something that I'm in.

When you write for very young children what they want is something familiar and safe and stereotyped.

I always feel better after a good scream.

Wear what you feel comfortable with. People say nasty things about what I wear in the street. I'm always in worst dressed lists, but you just have to dress for yourself and ­nobody else.

You become very angry and depressed that you keep getting offered only these exceedingly demure and repressed roles. They're so not me. That's why films like Fight Club were so important to me because I think I confounded certain stereotypes and limited perceptions of what I could do as an actress.

Usually I'm frustrated when I look at my films and I don't believe that I've made a real transformation beyond my usual sets of gestures and expressions. I still have this nagging feeling that it's me, that I didn't create a unique character.
