“I dress like a tomboy.”

I don’t know what to expect for the next thing. There are always different people. It’s interesting.

I felt like it was really about people and how decisions and circumstances can change relationships.

Every single thing is like a new thing, so it’s never what I expect.

I can’t just settle for anybody. The fact is I’m choosy, but mainly about a man’s character. He has to be interesting, funny and clever. I don’t even mind if he’s not very good-looking.

I’ve always been really private about my personal life. I don’t talk about it.

I was like: “I’m actually doing this.” And now I feel more confident going into something.

I love ‘Breathless,’ and ‘Paris, Texas,’ and ‘Badlands.’

To be supportive of myself, I have to go with what I want to do. I started acting and I was so mesmerized.

I don’t think a name defines the core of who you are.

I’m like a boomerang, I always come back.

I had a really small role (playing goddess Aphrodite), and I was only working for just over a week with Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson.

I feel what is really great about Pusher is that it wasn’t about drugs and guns and strippers. That was just all circumstantial.

When I first started modelling, as I was walking down the catwalk I just thought,

I didn’t hate it, but I was yearning to do something different. I was on a gradient. It was a gradual thing.

I don’t expect that because I was successful in one field that I will then get a ride of passage into another.

I’m not oblivious to that connotation of changing careers, so I’m just going in and doing the job.

Just to see what a pink dress can mean to a woman, any woman, but a disabled woman, that’s extra special and thrilling because they shouldn’t be separated and their disabilities don’t have to separate them in anyway.

I hate to say it, but the truth is that the upscale line is where I get respect as a designer. The higher the price range, the higher the respect level from the industry, even though it’s much easier to make a great $500 dress than a great $100 dress.

A woman who has style doesn’t necessarily need designers – designer wear. A woman who has style can put on any frock or dress or pant or whatever and still bring something to it.

If they [at the audition] don’t like the way you sound they won’t buy you anyway, ripped dress or no ripped dress, ass hanging out or no ass hanging out.

I want to have fun. Life ain’t no dress rehearsal. I want to have fun. I’m a comedian; I ain’t no politician. So everything I do is with humor, with love.

The way you dress is the billboard that tells perceptive people how you feel about yourself.

One of the most courageous things we do is change. If everyone says you’re wonderful every time you wear a red dress, and you change to yellow, that takes courage.

I had decided early on that if I couldn’t dress elegant, I’d dress memorable.
