 I knew you had to go in and audition and maybe they'd hire you, and that's where you start. I had a good understanding about press: that it's the actor's responsibility to publicize his or her films. |
| It's always been a desire of mine to work with my parents. |
| I've always loved film more than theater. |
| It's a strange world, as David Lynch would say. |
| Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time. |
| I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit. |
| When man decides he can control nature, he's in deep trouble. |
| The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour. |
| That's life - to turn each other on, to feel good, to feel in love. |
| Wild at Heart made a few people angry-they thought I was exploiting women by showing that when a woman says no she really means yes. |
| I wanted to go to Jupiter. That was my plan from day one, and David Lynch gave me the ticket. |
| Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly. |
| Luckily, I was raised by people who'd already seen all the yuck stuff, which is why they originally didn't want me to act. I understood the difference between getting a part at a Hollywood party and getting a job. |
| I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other. |
| There's always a side of a woman that likes a man from the other side of the tracks. |
| I'm interested in flawed protagonists. I was raised on them. |
| I hope we can be consummate artists as women or revolutionaries, or whatever women want to be, and also have love, not only for ourselves but from a partner. |
| We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that. |
| Whatever character you play, it gives you the chance to expose another side of yourself that maybe you've never felt comfortable with, or never knew about. |
| I really don't consider myself to be a conventional Hollywood star. I've never really been marketed by the big studios to do mass market box office films. |
