“Looking back – I did have a lot of success and a lot of great opportunities earlier in my career.”

Crazy isn’t being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me, amplified.

I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.

My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.

Remember, I’m the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I’ve never felt like I’m a big star at any level of my life.

The actors that I do know are people who I think have souls, you know?

I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

I would love to someday do a play. I did one when I was very young in San Francisco, where I grew up. A girl can dream.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you’re too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

What’s awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That’s scary, and they just seem to think it’s okay to do it, like you’re public property.

I was raised to believe that religion is a beautiful thing, but it’s fiction.

I don’t want to preach, and I don’t want to tell people what to do.

I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

When you finally accept that it’s OK not to have answers and it’s OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

Society makes suicide so romantic.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

It’s very rarely a good career move to have a conscience.

whatever your career may be, do not let yourselves become tainted by a deprecating and barren scepticism, do not let yourselves be discouraged by the sadness of certain hours which pass over nations.

I went through a lot of heartbreak the first half of my career, maybe even longer, cuz deep down I needed that validation that I thought the awards could bring.

We won best breakthrough video, it meant so much to me to win that award, it was a turning point in my career.

I built a company at the same time I built a career.

I don’t think modeling is a career I’m going to pursue.

Thought is powerful in all phases. Even in my career, even in my life, things end up exactly how I visualized them.

So many women around the world in so many different career paths and places are expected to be perfect and I know that it sounds cliché, but none of us are.
