Personal quotes
"Director 'David Lynch (I)' once described her
as "Five feet of heaven in a ponytail."
"At
the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary."
"Generally,
Hollywood makes the same stories over and over,"
she says between bites of Caesar salad and lobster risotto
at Ivy at the Shore, a trendy, star-watching Santa Monica
eatery."
"I've
never wanted to do the same thing twice. If a script
doesn't surprise me in some way, I simply can't commit
to the project."
" I
wanted to be a marine biologist, then I wanted to be
a stewardess. Then I met this lady that was really neat,
and she cut my hair once; so then I wanted to cut hair!
But by far my biggest dream when I was young was to
have the perfect home and the picket fence, and babies
crawling around, and I'd be cooking food in the kitchen.
I didn't have the picket fence childhood so I always
wanted that stability. I don't talk much about that,
though, because it hurts my mom to read those things.
It's basically that my mom was married twice, and so
we moved a few times."
"I was
probably in fourth grade. Me and other kids would re-enact
movies in my friend's basement. I remember one specifically,
The Towering Inferno. I played Faye Dunaway, and I wore
curtains as my evening gown. The cutest boy in the neighborhood
played Paul Newman."
"When
I was a kid I saw Kansas City Bomber, and I remembered
thinking how beautiful and how strong Raquel Welch's
character was. So I went home and dressed up my Barbie
like her character. I borrowed one of my brother's little
toy plastic football helmets and I made Barbie a Kansas
City Bomber outfit, and it really affected me. She was
a strong woman, and I guess I admired that even then."
"I used
to steal candy and gum in stores. I was very good at
it. I would how my friends what do to. As I picked up
two packs of gum, I'd gentry push one into my sleeve
while pretending to look at the other one -- then I'd
put that one back. It was horrible! I remember getting
caught stealing very young -- stealing a Tootsie Roll.
But then I just got better at stealing things. Later,
in middle school, I started to steal clothes. My girlfriend
and I were always stealing shirts from stores. We'd
layer them under our clothes. One time there was a horrible
spree and then we never did it again -- all the middle
school girls were at this mall stealing! We were so-ooo
bad! At that point, we realized this habit had really
escalated and it had to stop."
"I liked
the hard-core truth of Rude Awakening. But when I first
read it, I was scared of it. Part of me was, like, it's
so unattractive! Does she have to vomit on herself?
Does she then have to fall in it? God, What's going
on here!? But I liked that it didn't glamorize alcohol.
And what's admirable about Billie is that she's a straight
shooter. She doesn't have a lot of pretense. It's like,
"Take me as I am. You like me, fine! You don't,
I don't give a [damn]! There's something quite empowering
about somebody who doesn't care what other people think.
Billie is learning about herself. She's recognized that
she has a problem with drugs and alcohol, and she's
trying to straighten it out."
"Yes,
but it's not just in Hollywood. I think there's an anxiety
in life where we automatically tend to look to the next
thing or we're complaining about he past. like somebody
recently said to me, "Well is your show going to
get picked up? Aren't you concerned about that?"
I said, "I don't care. I don't want to worry about
that that because worrying is not going to make it happen
or not happen." I want to trust that if it does,
then that's what's supposed to happen and if it doesn't
get picked up, then that's okay, too. It's just a more
peaceful way to live. Right now, in my life, I'm really
striving for peace and more of a calm outlook."
