But I've always felt a need to have a life which is completely separate - at least as far as possible - from the kind of illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity.

I write pretty much every day, but I don't have any desire to publish anything.

As an actress, you want to try new things. You don't want to repeat yourself. That becomes more important to you, as you get older.

Scapegoating will go on forever. We need someone to blame - illegal immigrants, single moms, people in prison. We need someone to victimize.

You do a movie if it's good and if you want to do it. It doesn't matter if it's small or big or expensive or cheap. If you want to say the words, you're gonna say them. You can't strategize.

I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.

I thought it was a cool parallel. Being replaced by the young thing. I know that definitely happens in Hollywood. It's harder to find good roles, and suddenly there's new girls. I'm at that age I've been warned my whole life about.

I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.

My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.

I was always like, I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!'

I grew up in San Francisco. My parents were not hippies they were writers. They were very active politically, but on the intellectual side, not on the taking drugs in a field and listening to the Grateful Dead side.

There's like this great thing that Bette Davis said when someone asked her, How do you get into Hollywood? Take Fountain!

Googling yourself is maybe one of the worst things you can do. I did it once, and someone had to talk me off a ledge.

I'm not into older guys. To tell you the truth, Richard Gere is not the sexiest man alive, in my book.
