"I am odd-looking. I
sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet."
"Anything that feels
that good couldn't possibly be bad. There's something about
death that is comforting, the thought that you could die tomorrow
frees you to appreciate your life now"
"Where ever I am I always
find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere
else."
"With doing the movies
I've done I don't think I would be half the person I am today."
"Honestly, I like everything,
boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny."
"When I get logical,
and I don't trust my instincts - that's when I get in trouble."
"I do have tatoos, and
i do wear leather, but there are other sides of me, that my
film express."
"Therapy? I don't need
that. The roles that I choose are my therapy."
"Because I am a bad girl,
people always automatically think that I am a bad girl. Or
that I carry a dark secret with me or that I'm obsessed with
death. The truth is that I am probably the least morbid person
one can meet. If I think more about death than some other
people, it is probably because I love life more than they
do."
"You're young, you're
drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; shit happens."
"And my dad, you're a
great actor but you're a better father."
(On if she ever caught her
husband Billy Bob Thornton cheating) "I've told Billy
if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill him because
I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat
him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are. And I'd
beat her, too!"
"There was a time when
I was really going to give up acting-- right after Foxfire.
I was trying to find characters with a certain strength and
things going on, but I was always disappointed. Wallace was
the first thing I did where I felt their ideas were better
than mine." -- GQ, December 1998
