More quotes by Christina Ricci
I don't come from money.
Christina Ricci
A director should cast a person who fits into their script.
Christina Ricci
I'm trying to just go with the flow and learn from the people around me.
Christina Ricci
I feel like some of the best talent is on TV right now, with the writing, acting and great directors.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
Recently, I've really responded to books that bring the magic of childhood back to us as adults.
Christina Ricci
The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
I'm incredibly naive.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
Well, I think most people understand that there's a big difference between who you are and who, you know, you play.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
To be honest, I don't usually do very much research, especially if I'm working with a director who also wrote the screenplay. They've usually done a tonne of research. And they'll tell you about it from their perspective which is better than doing your own research.
Christina Ricci
I think that's the best career that someone can have is one that's reflective of their personal tastes.
Christina Ricci
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.
Christina Ricci
