I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, 'cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.

I'm 44 years old. So, it's really great to watch younger generations getting their opportunities, and being there to support them in that.

My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I'm very interested in the music scene and I suppose that's why I've ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends.

If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

In America, I don't know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we're in danger.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

How I was raised was, there were no rules - nothing like that. If I wanted to take a drug because I was in school and everybody was doing it, I could go to my parents and say, "I really want to try this." And they'd say, "If you do this, O.K., but this is what can happen to you..." They'd say, "Don't get it in the streets, because it could be really bad and make you freak out. Don't take it in a crowded place, because you'll panic."
