As a kid, I was told to talk as much as possible.
When I was younger, I did self-mutilate. I'd be upset, so I'd do it, & it would calm me down. It's a horrible way to feel better. But there are two parts of your brain - one that really wants to destroy the other. & sometimes the idea of self-destruction is very romantic. I got over that.
It's so normal for a teenager to dress in black -- and be real unhappy and stay in your room and say sarcastic things. How could something so normal be considered morbid?
Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.
I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces.
For years, I hated myself. I covered the mirrors in my house. I literally couldn't have a mirror in my room.
I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places.
I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.
This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else.
You have to excuse me because I AM a teenager, so I'm allowed to sound illiterate and make stupid comments like 'I'm not into hard-core feminism.'
I think people who suffer from depression, unless it's post-traumatic, are probably going to struggle with it for their whole life.
I take Wellbutrin because I'm afraid to go into stores. I'm afraid people are going to yell at me.
I tend to fight for something that I believe in.
I've never been to a race car race before.
My boyfriend is Jewish, and he calls himself a kike every five seconds.
As long as we can tell stories about our ability to survive, the more we will hope, not self-destruct.
I'm really open to everything.
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it's incredibly romantic.
I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified.
Hopefully what you do as an actor is strong enough and has enough of an impact that people get what you're trying to communicate.
I think my anorexia was to do with being a teenager, not being in films.
I think reincarnation is possible. Hopefully, we all get recycled.
Our society doesn't want to help girls like that [in Black Snake Moan]. They just want to use them.
I would love to fly privately, but unfortunately, I don't. I don't summer anywhere either.
I think that's the best career that someone can have is one that's reflective of their personal tastes.
