In high school I had a boyfriend who was super into rap, so I was into Too $hort and Wu-Tang for a little while. And my best friend’s older brother would sometimes drive us home in this pimped-out truck, and he’d play all his dirty rap music. We thought we were really cool.
The performances that I love are ones like Gena Rowlands in ‘A Woman Under the Influence,’ where women are allowed to be messy and imperfect. It’s that kind of woman that has always inspired me to seek roles that are a little out of the box. I just haven’t always had the opportunity to do them.
I’m not someone who is scared of doing things out of the box.
When I’m an old lady, I’m going to have my pick of the young men. They’ll be like, ‘She’s Miss Mary Jane!’ The young boys will think I’m a hot old lady.
I really think the key to a film is the chemistry of people.
I never read comics as a kid. I guess I was lazy and watched cartoons instead.
I love to produce, and I’ve directed two short films.
Confidence is very sexy. You could be not cute at all and have such confidence.
Charlotte Rampling is someone I’ve wanted to work with for a very long time. I’ve always looked up to her as an actress and it’s a reason why I feel brave to do a film like Melancholia. So, to me she’s the ultimate.
I have gotten so many tickets. I hope I don’t get my license revoked.
Everyone goes through a hard time in their life.
To be in someone’s favorite film is just – that’s what you want. You want to be in great films that are memorable.
I can’t wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake.
I don’t find I’m manic at all. I’m very chill.
I don’t gossip about myself.
I don’t live in the spotlight, and I don’t live my life in front of the paparazzi. I live very comfortably and quietly as possible.
I don’t think roles help you resolve your issues. I just think they’re good markers.
I hate red-carpet photographs!
I don’t want to be ‘box-office girl,’ but I don’t want to be ‘that indie girl’ either.
Being an actress doesn’t make you popular in school.
