I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket.

It's really fun to act like a bimbo. But it's fun to act like a bimbo only when people know that you really aren't one.

I'd never done nudity in a movie; I've never sort of condoned it for myself, but David Lynch wanted it, and I was completely comfortable with it because that love story was so protected. There's never a moment where you feel anything is exploited.

I feel that movies are gifts that come to you, and there are no accidents in what you end up doing.

You can change. And you can be an agent of change.

What about good small roles for women? I've told my agent, if there are two great scenes in a film, I don't care, if it's something with that great edge to it.

It's very easy to get caught up in - there's a hype going on now that I haven't seen in years, and it's actually more about press than it is about an actor's work or what films they've been in.
