Happiness is the most important thing.

I went to the Independent Spirit Awards and won.

It's great to have something to dress up for. You know, I spent three years in slacks at drama school, so now I like putting a dress on.

We, as human beings, have the capacity for extreme cruelty.

I haven't yet figured out how to be a celebrity; that's something I'm learning, and I wish there were a course on how to handle it. I have to be aware that my kinesphere may be larger than I want it to be.

I was bullied by my siblings and cousins, so make-believe was a way in which I could be in charge. When I was like 10 and my sister was about five, I convinced her that she was going to jail because she used a bad word. The doorbell happened to ring, and I told her it was the police. I made her pack her bags. She was crying, and then I said to her, "I forgive you, and I'm gonna tell the cop to go away." Then, of course, she loved me. It was terrible - she still remembers it. I had a sordid sense of humor.

[My mother] always said I was beautiful and I finally believed her at some point.
