I mean, I am still such the-good-girl. I want everybody to like me. I want everybody to be happy.

Whatever education I got was from experience and reading. But I also realize I wouldn't pass my friend's sixth-grade class.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

I don't know what 15-year-old doesn't have a desire to separate themselves from their parents and prove their independence.

From Blue Valentine I kept my wedding ring. I actually kept it on for a while. After the shooting had stopped, I was still wearing it – I couldn’t quite take it off – and now I keep it above the kitchen sink where I do dishes, as a little memento.

I love domestic life.

I don't want to do anything to embarrass my family or my church because the town that I come from is so small. There are certain things that I just can't be part of because of my foundation.
