All that schooling never prepares you for the reality of life. |
As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform. |
Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles. |
Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create. |
Being that we're both Method actors ... ... Basically it's like, 'Ten, nine, eight, seven — do we go out now? — six, five ...' |
Do you all know who Juliette and the Licks are? We're all just a bunch of actors! We act like we're in a band. |
I collect clothes-they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed. |
I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots. |
I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress. |
I just couldn't say no. The material is so provocative and visceral that I'm really excited to do it. |
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady. |
I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well. |
I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly. |
I try to bring a fearlessness to it. It makes sense that I do music. I have a really solid band. I have to do this and I'm not going to stop so I don't even care. Whoever wants to talk shit, so be it. I say: bring it on! |
It was traumatic and lovely, ... My character is always trying to get his attention, and I think she feels connected to him because the town judges her for whatever reason and thinks she's a trollop, a tramp, whatever you want to call her. |
