I buy records - vinyl. I have a record player at home.
I have a fiercely independent spirit.
My favourite thing is to do crossword puzzles. I do the 'New York Times' one every morning. Then I go to the barn to see my horse.
I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.
I'm looking to find good stories, not big commercial pieces of work.
Everybody enjoys when a woman is her own character in a movie or otherwise.
I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you're inadvertently admitting it's wrong.
I am just like any other girl, a sucker for romance.
I seem to be stuck in the '60s, and my favorite music, cars, and women's fashion come from that era. And the sense of social rebellion. It was a good time for a lot of things.
When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.
It is really hard when you spend your life living out of a suitcase. But it really does weed out superficial people - if someone is still with you after the second movie, then they're probably a good one! I like to trust people in general - it's the southern girl in me.
I did nothing to look the way I look. The genetic cards that anyone is dealt are not in their control, so to take pride in my looks would be a mistake. And besides, in L.A. there's always someone more beautiful!
I've got a soft spot for true individuals.
I would love to see women be able to be powerful, complex, smart, opinionated and taken seriously, even if they are beautiful. Even more, I would love to see women held to different standards, other than the superficial ones that we're held to.
I think there's an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal, like the 'Saw' movies.
I watch what I eat and drink.
I come from a place where I find it hard to identify with a label.
I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.
You know, I've kind of been lucky enough to always work with established actors or big names or people that are really popular or infamous for doing what they do and doing it well, I guess.
I'm thankful for the work that feminists like Gloria Steinem have done. I am a feminist, but the geography for women today is vastly different than it was in the '60s.
