My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy, and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it's just impossible to have a relationship.

I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me.

There were days that I literally had no reason to get out of bed. It just was so destructive for me.

I am one of the few actresses who isn't recognized by the way she looks. I'm recognized by the way I talk

If you break 100, watch your golf. If you break 80, watch your business.

No one was jumping up and saying, 'Yeah, let me give you money.' I had never held a camera in my hand - a home video camera, nothing. I had not directed.

I want to feel passion, I want to feel pain. I want to weep at the sound of your name. Come make me laugh, come make me cry... just make me feel alive.
