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.

It's a strange world, as David Lynch would say

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

There is so much in the world to care about.

My mother opened a bank account for me when I made $60 on my first day of work as an extra. She's that kind of mother.

I made a commitment to myself: that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference... It has to move people.

Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
