I have a deep compassion for the idea that it's okay to be myself. The idea that anything 'other' is bad and wrong and broken is so wildly off base.

I will take the subway and look at certain women and think 'God, that woman's story will never be told. How come that lady doesn't get a movie about her?'

I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.

I would love to option 'Crying of Lot 49 and turn it into a movie.

I don't really feel like I need to be a teenager ever again.

My hair is such a statement that it's like a neon sign asking for trouble.

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.
