You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.

I think I've made a career out of making despicable people likable.

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.

I wrote about wasting time, which I suppose is a part of the great human journey. We're supposed to wallow, to go through the desert without water for a long time so that when we finally drink it, we'll truly need it and we won't spill a drop. It's about being present.

When you get the call from Quentin Tarantino, it's the call of a lifetime. You don't allow yourself to be vulnerable enough or to be fool enough to expect that phone call to happen, in reality.

Like everybody, I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.

I find that I have no problem getting a table at a restaurant when I walk in.
