• "Mum put me in drama classes when I was about 14. I'd been going on about it for some time, so maybe it was a way to shut me up."
• "Oh, I'm definitely a wild child."
• On her love scene in MULHOLLAND DRIVE: "The lighting was very dark, and almost nobody was allowed on the set, so you didn't feel exploited. We'd be kissing and doing whatever we were doing, and then David [Lynch] would yell, 'Cut,' and we would fall back in bed in a state of giggles. When I see the scene now, it seems so sensual, as if these two women really do love each other. But it didn't feel as authentic when we shot it. That's just as well. Otherwise, I would have had to marry Laura!"
• "There was a time I was very much blaming the way I felt on L.A, that it was a vacuum of creativity, of humor or anything organic, and I was really angry at the place. But then today I feel completely different — I love L.A.!"
• "There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it."
