I think of myself as a creator, and I think that will always shine through in any medium that I decide to pick up. If you're creative and you're an artist, you could be doing anything and that creativity will shine.
I'm so many different things in one. I'm like, really, truly a New Yorker.
I've crossed paths with so many different people from all walks of life. Any situation you put me in, I can manage.
The '90s were just such an amazing time for movies. There was more money in movies and you could get away with things.
I just never thought in a million years that I would be, like, sharing a kiss on-screen with Adam Sandler.
I'm really open to everything. Maybe I'm really good in rom-coms, you know?
Maybe the mainstream needs someone like me.
Looking at myself retrospectively, how I survived, how I was reactionary as my surroundings were ever changing and I didn't have time to make thought out choices. My growth was quick, forced and dynamic.
I've always said that I've been acting my whole life, and everyone always told me, 'you should be an actress professionally.' I've heard that my whole life, so it's kind of cool to think, 'yeah, they were right.' I can do this and I'm good at it, and that feels really good.
I love Penelope Cruz and Tilda Swinton, and I love Marisa Tomei. I feel like I get compared to her a lot, which I think is the biggest compliment, because she's incredible. Debi Mazar I get a lot, and I love her, because I feel like we have similar stories. New York, club kid, just a complete train wreck, very independent.
I'm just not the best employee, and I came to terms with that very young, and I realized that if I was going to be successful then I'd have to be my own boss and take control of my life.
I think the things that excite other people don't even scratch the surface for me. I need much more to feel the adrenaline and the thrill.
I want the things that I create to outshine the person that I am perceived to be, which I think is often not accurate and not really representative of who I am.
I kind of consider myself as an anti-It Girl. I don't really care about being seen.
If I'm not able to share my experiences with everyone or else, they mean nothing at all.
I think a lot of what I do is for my own personal healing.
As New York City kids, you lived fast and partied hard as teenagers - experiences that informed your design aesthetic.
I remember thinking, if someone else can play me better than me, then what am I even here on this earth for?
If I'm scared of something there's more incentive for me to do it.
I didn't want to act but just as a person I love to try new things and I never want to limit myself.
