I'm the only actress in Hollywood who didn't pay to have these lips.
I don't know how people recognize me.
I love being a redhead. It's a rare thing, so I think there's a bond between redheads.
When I finally started to heal, that was the inspiration.
So, I went to Germany and ended up parasailing around this castle. I was in Germany sightseeing, eating Bratwurst and hanging out in beer gardens. And then, I got back from Germany and got a call where they were like, "We need to fly you to New York tomorrow to read with Taylor [Schilling]. " I was like, "Wait, for Alex, the manipulative drug-smuggling lesbian girl?!," and they were like, "Yeah. "

I was married very young. I lived a very middle class life. I was married at age 21, divorced at 31. I didn't sleep on people's couches.
Distraction is our habitual state. Not the distraction of the person who withdraws from the world in order to shut himself up in the secret and ever-changing land of his fantasy, but the distraction of the person who is always outside himself, lost in the trivial, senseless, turmoil of everyday life.
When I won the Oscar, I made a point of actively going against that and doing adventure films like 'Con Air' and 'Gone in 60 Seconds,' not what would be expected.
I like not thinking when I am working. I thrive on that feeling of attempting to move on total instinct and inner feelings. . . that to me is "soul"; soul music. Almost everyone else uses a great deal of thought processes. . . they are idea men.
