“I think that I’m so psychotic and so mentally ill that if I could tap into that I could do something really interesting.”
“I haven’t gone completely insane, but it might happen soon.”
“I have no friends and I never leave my house. You just have to make a choice to just refuse to be involved with things that could get you in trouble. It’s easy when you feel upset or depressed about something to want to go to a club and want to drink, but instead I just force myself to sit and feel it and deal with it, and try to grow from it, because I don’t want to go down that path. I’m one of the most isolated people in existence right now, but it’s worth it because if I wasn’t making that decision I would be throwing away my career.”
"I think if I had been a typical Hollywood actress and I said all the right things and I had been a publicity android, it wouldn’t have escalated to this level."
You’ve only done a couple of movies, so you’re still mostly known as a sex symbol rather than an actress.
"It doesn’t bother me. I don’t know why someone would complain about that. That just means that the bar has been set pretty low. People don’t expect me to do anything that’s worth watching. So I can only be an overachiever. I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That’s what our purpose is in this business. You’re merchandised, you’re a product. You’re sold and it’s based on sex. But that’s okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded."
“I’m kind of a recluse. I’m a hermit and it’s because I do have a great fear of Hollywood, just watching what it does to people. You have to be a really strong human being to survive it, as a girl especially. So I try to avoid the Hollywood scene as much as possible and people who enjoy the Hollywood scene — that’s usually a red flag to me. Some people might think my life is boring, but I haven’t been to rehab yet, so I think I’m doing something right!“
“I like to cut through the BS. I don’t like small talk and I don’t like to have to be a cookie cutter. That’s a quality I started to develop as a kid in middle school. You know how everybody goes into cliques and you all talk behind everyone’s back? I thought it was so ignorant. So I just really started being completely honest with everybody all of the time. It gets me into trouble often, but, at the end of the day, I think it’s a good quality to have. I have become a little more aware of the media’s tendency to twist things that I say.”
those are quotes i've saved over the years. i don't really have a source for them. its kinda sad that hollywood has gotten to her a tad bit (with the few surgeries she's had), but i love that she does her best to keep away from all the other crap.
