Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.

I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.

I had a prodigious life, living in a grown-up world when I was a child. But I think my abilities were about perceptiveness, and they were about examining psychology and examining people and relationships.

I don't know why people think child actresses in particular are screwed up. I see kids everywhere who are totally bored. I've never been bored a day in my life.

I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves.

Being understood is not the most essential thing in life.

It's very hard for me to get a new car. It's really hard for me to get a new house. It's really hard for me to move on from the things that give me stability.
