“When you become a celebrity, the world owns you and your image.”

I would never date a girl who is bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I’d never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.

People bullshit and fakeness are the main reasons why I like to be alone.

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 personally always find something really scary about watching little girls learning to manipulate their dads by baby talking. Then they grow up and use the same technique on their boyfriends or husbands. That scares me because it’s just so sick on so many levels.

You want to go to work with people you like and where everyone is having fun.

You just have to make a choice to just refuse to be involved with things that could get you in trouble.

Until you have kids, you can’t imagine how much you could possibly love a human being.

I’m really insecure about everything.

Sometimes I say things that I think are obviously sarcastic and people take them quite literally.

I’m very confident in how I project my personality.

I would love to do a movie naked; it would be beautiful. No one dares make that kind of film today. They did it in the 1930s in an arty way, so why not now?

If alcohol is legal, I don’t see why people still have a ban on marijuana.

I believe that every interaction is an act of fate in some way, that we’re meant to interact with them, and it’s our job to flesh that out and experience it to the fullest and learn the lessons we’re meant to.

I’m a passionate individual, and sometimes when I have strong feelings about a subject, I feel the need to express myself.

Hollywood is the most superficial thing you could possibly be a part of and if I weren’t attractive I wouldn’t be working at all.

I feel like if you are with someone through the process of pregnancy and delivery, if nothing else, there is such an incredible amount of respect that would lead into some sort of love in one way or another.

The audience makes the decision of what kind of actor they want to watch. I always have said in the last 20 years, the real boss is the audience.

Method actors are like hams.

If there is something magic about the collaborations I have with actors it’s because I put the character first.

Only a madman or an actor would want to be President of the United States.

I didn’t want to be an actress; I never thought of being an actress because, as children, there were three of us – I was the middle child – and we spent our time in church from Sunday morning to Saturday night.

My parents said, Oh, he’s going to be a director someday. I wanted to be an actor.

My experience of singing, as an actor, was that there’s a different creative feeling of freedom. The acting thing is a bit more defined and cerebral. I can see why people would want to cross over. If you have so much freedom on stage then perhaps you want to be confined a bit, and vice versa.

In my early years, there were a number of experiences that made me decide I could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues I wanted to address. And I wanted to use my career as a platform.
