Personal quotes
"As an actress, I have one rule for myself: F--k
the rules."
"Jennifer's
nice. She had lipstick that wasn't too messy."
"I end
up getting the girl at the end. I've never gotten the
girl before. It's kinda nice."
"Dont
put mascara on while driving. Especially while going
around a blind curve."
"...on
the filming of love scenes in Bound "I felt like
I was having sex with about 20 people."
"I have
a very sensitive stomach. I eat a lot of tums!"
"After
the first time I see myself in any movie I've just done,
I usually think about other careers I could pursue."
"I went
into a chat room once. I had a strange sexual encounter
in a "private room" with some guy from Ohio.
He was probably 12. I hope I don't get arrested!"
"The
world is my pet."
"The
idea of going to girls' school was just doomsday. And
Beverly (Hills) had surfing class, two theatres and
really good donuts."
"After
Bound, they'll think I'm really butch--and a really
good plumber. I'll have people calling me up to fix
their pipes."
"With
these large dark eyebrows I've got, people are always
going to think I'm a bitch. That's how it goes."
"About
the nudity in Showgirls "I didn't expect to be
dancing in a muumuu, but the first time I watched the
film, I said 'Oh My God! I don't have any clothes on!'
It's like my evil shadow stepped out and wreaked havoc
all over the screen!"
"I could
be Meryl Streep of the Mediterranean world!"
"When
I moved to New York, I re-invented myself from a Valley
surfer chick to an East Coast snob. My accent and my
whole look changed. Now I'd rather stay in and read
books than go out and sun myself."
