I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food! Everything else - power, influence, strength - all those things can overpower what's important in life. But as long as you have food and shelter over your head, if the necessities are taken care of, what makes us happy on top of that is very simple.

It's sort of my fun to sing along with records and imitate people who are on the telephone that have different ways of speaking.

I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject.

I say to myself, 'I don't know how to act - and why does anybody want to look at me on-screen anymore?' ... Lots of actors feel that way. What gives you strength is also your weakness - your raging insecurity.

I need to go where people are serious about acting.

Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
