Personal quotes
"I don't think the money people in Hollywood have
ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my
work and that's what counts."
"Therapy?
I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy."
"Because
I am a bad girl, people always automatically think that
I am a bad girl. Or that I carry a dark secret with
me or that I'm obsessed with death. The truth is that
I am probably the least morbid person one can meet.
If I think more about death than some other people,
it is probably because I love life more than they do."
"You're
young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives;
shit happens."
"And
my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father."
"(On
if she ever caught her husband Billy Bob Thornton cheating)
I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't
kill him because I love his children and they need a
dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his
sports injuries are. And I'd beat her, too!"
"I'll
make it real simple, I'm a 36-C. In the game, she's
a double-D. In the movie, she's a D. We split the difference...[the
movie Croft] is much more athletic, and she has smaller
breasts, but she's still Lara Croft, so there."
"I seem
to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are
strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they
send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind
who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play
strong women who are also very feminine."
"I'd
like to believe that the people that have supported
me in my work or identified with me in films, the people
that feel they know me, they do and they don't have
misconceptions - they understand. I believe that."
"I'm
angry. I'm sad. It's a very difficult and sad time.
It was a real deep connection, a deep marriage, so it's
not that simple to say this or that one thing caused
the problems. It's clear to me that our priorities shifted
overnight. He's focused on his music and career. I'm
focused on my baby. It comes down to what's important
to you. - on her split from husband Billy Bob Thornton"
"All
women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense
of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough."
"Honestly,
I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy
and the skinny."
"I always
play women I would date. "
"I am
odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet."
"I am
so in love with my brother right now!"
"I do
have tatoos, and I do wear leather, but there are other
sides of me, that my film express."
"I like
everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and
the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm walking down
the street."
"I need
more sex, OK? Before I die I wanna taste everyone in
the world."
"I need
someone physically stronger than me.... I am always
on top. It's really unfortunate. I am begging for the
man that can put me on the bottom. Or the woman. Anybody
that can take me down."
"I'd
go from film to film and almost detach from one world
and jump in another. I was living as these people and
not having a self. I didn't know who I was. And things
just get really dark."
"I've
told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't
kill him because I love his children and they need a
dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his
sports injuries are."
"Sometimes
I think [my husband] is so amazing that I don't know
why he's with me. I don't know whether I'm good enough.
But if I make him happy, then I'm everything I want
to be."
"When
I get logical, and I don't trust my instincts - that's
when I get in trouble."
"Where
ever I am I always find myself looking out the window
wishing I was somewhere else."
"With
doing the movies I've done I don't think I would be
half the person I am today."
