I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend [Billy Bob Thorton] got married, and I've never heard from him again.
I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit.
I hope we can be consummate artists as women or revolutionaries, or whatever women want to be, and also have love, not only for ourselves but from a partner.
I knew you had to go in and audition and maybe they'd hire you, and that's where you start. I had a good understanding about press: that it's the actor's responsibility to publicize his or her films.
I really don't consider myself to be a conventional Hollywood star. I've never really been marketed by the big studios to do mass market box office films.
I made a commitment to myself; that I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to do films that make a difference. It has to move people.
I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket.
We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that
It would be great to make a movie that had the style of a great '30's film.
I've always loved film more than theater.
I'm interested in flawed protagonists. I was raised on them.
There is so much in the world to care about.
It's really fun to act like a bimbo. But it's fun to act like a bimbo only when people know that you really aren't one.
You can hardly tell where the computer models finish and the real dinosaurs begin
