I was glad to have had some dance background because some of the dances are pretty wild.

It takes a lot of guts to get up on top of a bar and dance.

I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter.

Well, usually when I finish one character, I'm looking for a role that's really different.

She tries to get a waitressing job for a while - I mean, she's looking for a while before she finds Coyote Ugly - and it's hard to get a waitressing job in the city.

When you're a very career-oriented woman, sometimes you don't have as much time to go meet all kinds of guys. You're a little bit limited to the guys that work in your office. I think a lot of girls can relate to that problem.

I can understand in some sense, having played the character, how unimaginably frustrating it is for people to tell you that you can't love who you love, because you ain't going to change it, and so they have to get out of your way
