I just thank god that I didn't grow up with so much money or privilege because you had to create ways to make it happen.

I didn't really like my birthday as a kid. My mother used to say, "Sometimes we'd have a birthday party and you would just wander off." But she said it was just my way in the world. It wasn't anything that I was truly interested in.

You learn something from everything you do. With every project I've ever done, I've always treated it like I'm still in school.

There are movies that I did and I know what I did and I know the story, and I don't want to see that.

I'm very thankful that I've had such longevity and variety.

We need to listen more, to hear the silence and live in it.

You'd think with all the magazines and the covers and all the sexy stuff I've done, that that's hugely a part of me. But even though I've played those roles and I've dressed up and been on the covers of these things and done this and that, it is all such pretense. So I just thought, "I can't be one of those girls. I wear bib jeans. I don't wear underwear like that. I don't move in the world like that." You know, I'm more bare-footed Rastafarian, crazy.
