“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.”
“I experience so many feelings and emotions when I tour. It's the most amazing and also the most lonely thing you can do.”
“Whatever I do, I'm always struggling to create a visceral experience. With my music, I'm more of a live performer these days. And film is such a different thing. It's where people sit in a dark theater. I want them to feel me as viscerally as if they were at a live show.”
“I have such a beautiful, strong family and friends, and they are like everything to me.”
“As I evolve, my interests change, always. But, what is consistent is that I always look for something new to play.”
“In acting, you have a writer, a director, a character - you're working through being another person - and the irony I always tell people is when I acted early on as a teenager, it actually kept me out of trouble.”
“I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.”
“I always liken myself to the bearded lady. Because I'm an actress turned musician, a woman doing male-dominated rock & roll... I'm the oddity at the freak show, you know?”
“Any time you start judging with an overly critical eye rather than letting things just be, and following what you think is right, it's complicated to find balance.”
“The praise for 'Cape Fear' will help me work more artfully - I can work with real artists, like Robert De Niro and the directors, and then go to artland, which is the best land to be in in this world.”
“I wrote songs when I was little, and I wrote a journal, but I don't think I knew how to let that truth come out yet.”
“My dad was lackadaisical on the discipline front. I dropped out of everything at school.”
“I have a huge fear of crowds. The irony is that my band is a therapeutic exercise. I hurl myself into thousands of people.”
“The mainstream media is funded by pharmaceutical companies, so when you have the biggest movie star in the world at the time - Tom Cruise - coming out against anti-depressants and Ritalin... they still brutalize him.”
“I normally don't concern myself with, 'Will audiences like me or like my character?'”
“Although I missed home, North Carolina is a spectacular place to spend four months. Wilmington has a great downtown area. It is not too small town or too big city. The people were really welcoming and nice. The weather was lovely.”
“Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say, 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper' man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.”
“What do I think being wild is? Nothing. Actually, the whole world is wild. Everything is wild. There we go.”
“Being an actor is like being a bass player: one of the component parts to the collective hole.”
“I've never been like Angelina Jolie, who at one time was spewing out this prototype Bad Girl stuff for people to consume. I've never boxed myself in that way. People can create boxes for me by all means, but it doesn't mean I'm going to step inside them.”
