As long as we can tell stories about our ability to survive, the more we will hope, not self-destruct.
Christina Ricci
Image
That worries me an awful lot. If people misunderstand our intentions [in Black Snake Moan], especially regarding my character, then they're essentially exploiting an already exploited and abused woman. So it's a huge concern for me.

I'm really open to everything.

My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room, even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.

I think the main reason a lot of child stars don't make it is that it's hard to see someone as cute and then all of a sudden see them as having more depth.

I'm so glad I'm not 20 years old anymore. I was in a hurricane. I'm a lot calmer now. I don't cause destruction for myself and others everywhere I go.

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.

I've been to therapists my whole life. I find the less attention I pay to food, the healthier I am. Any obsession is dangerous. And a whole country that's obsessed with one thing, unless it's, like, jeans, it's very dangerous. Everyone's obsessed right now with carbohydrates in this country. It's ridiculous.

I don't think I like characters who are afraid and ashamed of who they are.
Christina Ricci
Image
I feel like some of the best talent is on TV right now, with the writing, acting and great directors. I've also been looking for the consistency of work that TV provides for you. And, I always thought it would be really interesting to live with a character for months, if not years.

Real tears are not those that fall from the eyes and cover the face, but those that fall from the heart and cover the soul.
Christina Ricci
Image
I think I've had a fairly meandering career. Because I did start so young, I think that I've always chosen my parts based on what's interesting to me and what I think would be challenging or fun, or someone I've always wanted to work with or a place I've always wanted to work in or a topic.

A director should cast a person who fits into their script.

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 would love to fly privately, but unfortunately, I don't. I don't summer anywhere either.

There are a lot of theories about Shakespeare.

I think reincarnation is possible. Hopefully, we all get recycled.

We might all be so afraid to be who we are, but in the end, it's really you're individual, unique qualities that make you attractive to people.

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

I'm incredibly naive.
