Quote

I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. It's not like, I don't make studio films I work for David Lynch and maybe a few American Playhouse directors, but that's it - I'd love to do a box-office hit.

Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.

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 study Carl Jung, who talks a lot about the shadow side, the repressed side. I think the scariest thing in the world is repression. There's plenty to be idealistic about, but we have to be aware of all sides of ourselves, and there are definitely shadows in all of us.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of the greatest films of all time.

What do you say when someone has truly inspired you? How do you express to an artist how deeply their work has affected you?

The really courageous and bold thing is to make movies about human behaviour

When I started dating I had relationships with people who came from families that weren't at all artistic or whatever, and they didn't understand how to communicate. I find that so boring.

As someone who has been asked to ask David Lynch what his movies mean for 25 years, I'm very careful about asking artists what their art means.

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.

It's very easy to get caught up in - there's a hype going on now that I haven't seen in years, and it's actually more about press than it is about an actor's work or what films they've been in.

It sounds like a cliché, but mother is really one of my closest friends, and so's my dad. He and I weren't very close when I was younger, but now we're best friends.

I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend [Billy Bob Thorton] got married, and I've never heard from him again.

I'm very connected to my own family, and maybe I like to explore the feelings that come up in families. I'm fortunate that my parents taught me to look further into why I might feel a certain way it was normal to expose things.

When you're playing someone who has a strong ego about themselves, you can't play them when you have the opposite opinion of the one they have of themselves.

I'd never done nudity in a movie I've never sort of condoned it for myself, but David Lynch wanted it, and I was completely comfortable with it because that love story was so protected. There's never a moment where you feel anything is exploited.

There's always a side of a woman that likes a man from the other side of the tracks

I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.

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.
