Quote

It's Aslan, the lion from The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. It's a symbol of my hellish childhood. I struggled through my oppressive teenage years and when I turned 18 I escaped. Like Aslan I was finally free.

I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified.

I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.

I think that we need to look at ourselves and look at the way women perpetuate misogyny. Because at a certain point you can't blame other people for things in your life. I've felt that most of the misogyny I've witnessed in my life - a lot of it, yes, it comes from men, but most of it professionally has come from other women.

I just want to be married, or just engaged. Basically, I just want a ring. And the tax break.

Our society doesn't want to help girls like that [in Black Snake Moan]. They just want to use them.

I went through a normal kind of late teens, early 20s drinking, but it was a choice I made, because I didn’t think it was very good for my life.

If an audience doesn't get that [Black Snake Moan] is a movie about overcoming exploitation, it could come across as incredibly misogynistic. That would be the worst thing in the world for me.

I think that's the best career that someone can have is one that's reflective of their personal tastes.
Christina Ricci

I'm trying to just go with the flow and learn from the people around me.
Christina Ricci

Most people don't walk around knowing what other people think about them, and I don't think it's healthy to know what faceless strangers who you'll never meet say about you.
Christina Ricci
Image
I'm one of those people who loves to fly.
Christina Ricci

This life that I've led has been really well suited for me.

I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs, and I've always loved the experience.
Christina Ricci
Image
To play someone who is who they are because of the happiness and contentedness that they've known in their life is interesting because of sort of how banal it is.

Image
I really liked it. It was awesome - my first tabloid story. If you're going to have a tabloid story written about you, it might as well be with Johnny Depp.
Christina Ricci
Image
We all have insecurities, and the thing that makes them crippling is that we all have the ability to blow them up into such huge issues in our minds, that we might as well have a facial deformity. It keeps us from really going out there and living our lives, and forgetting about hating yourself and just experiencing the world around you.

Recently, I've really responded to books that bring the magic of childhood back to us as adults.

I mean, I sing. But I don't think I'm a good enough singer to do any kind of musical.

I think we need great artists making great work - women, men, whoever. I think what's great about TV now is there are so many different platforms that you can make really specific, specialized content. I wouldn't have gotten this part because I'm not really considered a traditional romantic lead, so I created it for myself.
