I collect clothes - they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.
My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper 'Man, did you see the way she said Hi. What an attitude.'
All that evilness is always just from pain and fear, and that's what I've come to understand. I've come to understand people now. Before, I would blame them for treating me in such a naïve way. I don't hate evil, vicious people anymore.
Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.
The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.
Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.
Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.
As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.
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 knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.
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.
