I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.
For someone like me, who prefers to keep their life as private as possible, it was disconcerting to have to define so much about myself. I don’t want to be labeled as one thing or another.
When I run on the beach, it’s always in slow motion. That’s just how I roll.
I have successfully avoided being stereotyped into a specific category. I’ve worked very hard at that, and I’m proud of not being easily lumped into anybody’s preconceived notions or expectations.
I don’t want to play into the perception that all women should look like fourteen year old boys. I don’t want to add to that pressure for young girls. But in Hollywood, there is a constant pressure to look a certain way.
Trying to film a movie on a diet is hard enough, I can’t imagine how it would be on drugs.
Hollywood can be a draining industry. For all the glitz and glory and wonderful parts of our business, it takes it’s toll on your inner self.
We all appreciated a certain aesthetic, and with that appreciation came a certain stylized presence.
Strength and independence are always something that I’m drawn to in all my characters, no matter how different they are from one another.
When you can find a strong character and a director that does want to protect the integrity of all characters, female and male, then you have a good deal.
I love things that have a vintage feel to them, just because there’s a certain texture to them that we just don’t have anymore. In fact I think I’ve been stuck in the 50s or 60s for a while.
I would love nothing more to participate in a real struggle to find a character, and really delve into and develop a character. That’s why I’m an actor.
I’m doing what I love. I’m enjoying the perks of the job-the travel. I am having a great time being a shape shifter and I’m really getting a kick out of it. I love my job.
Many states have laws against cousin marriage, which I think are ridiculous – people should be allowed to make that choice.
I’m a big horror fan. I’m a genre fan. I like to make these movies. They’re my favorite kinds of movies to make.
There’s something nice and valuable and wonderful about the suspense and the classic horror that doesn’t just crutch on blood and the almost pornographic view of fear.
If you’re not seeing each other anymore because things are so strained, and your only communication is a weekly e-mail, and you’re wondering which medium is most appropriate for announcing your desire to break up – guess what, you’ve already broken up.
I want to be able to create characters for as long as I can and I want to tell stories for as long as I can but unfortunately I’m not given those opportunities because I’m often boxed into the former category.
We come from a somewhat puritanical and chauvinistic point-of-view, so that when we’re asked questions about women being empowered by sexuality, we often confuse it with women who are victimized by it.
For the most part I pick movies based on the merit of the script, and the merit of the script only.
They are very different. Women who are empowered by it and have choices based off of their sexuality, are very different from the ones that are being taken advantage of.
