As a rule people don't think other people on drugs are funny. They think they are tragic. They have a point, but I still had the funny.

I started wearing all black around the time I got into Nirvana. I first heard 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' when I was about 12, and I remember jumping on my bed, so excited about it.

I'm somebody who believes in funny things, and laughing, but I do like for them to come from a place that addresses the human condition.

I am a hooker with a heart of gold.

I grew up in Manhattan, and I've always had all kinds of people around me. I've always had a very 'live and let live' point of view.

Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?

There's a great Albert Camus quote: 'The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.' When I first re-emerged, I was embarrassed to walk down the street. People would come up and say, 'I heard you were dead!' But I had to remind myself that a lot of the stuff I went through was pretty brutal. I'm definitely thankful that some of the rough patches are behind me.
