Neve Campbell

“I find the most interesting and most daring scripts tend to be for independent films.”

“Ballet is completely unnatural to the body, just being turned-out... it's not the way your body is supposed to function, so you actually train your body to be a different structure than you were born with.”

“I keep to myself a lot, I guess.”

“I think it's incredibly important to spend the first year with your child, and it should be made possible for all women.”

“The first 'Scream' was great for me in some ways, but in others it was... a challenge.”

“My issue in the past with nudity was that these scenes had been written solely for box office draw.”

“I've been very sensible with the money I made, and I did make good money.”

“I actually do like scary movies. I used to hate scary movies. You know, when I was young, I saw 'The Changeling,' with George C. Scott, which I think is the scariest movie ever made. After I saw that, I swore I would never see a horror film again. Then I started making them.”

“Dance is very, very old. With Louis XIV at Versailles is where ballet started.”

“I never wanted to be an actor. It was something I found a passion for; it wasn't there immediately.”

“The grunge thing was a little bit atrocious. 'Let's all put on plaid shirts and be as dirty as possible!'”

“If you're in a company, you're dancing from 9 a.m. till 7 in the evening, and then you go home and get in a hot tub and get some Epsom salts and try to get your body goin' again. There's no social life, no anything.”

“Dancing is hard on all bodies, but I particularly kept getting injured.”

“We may not realise it, but dancing is a form of meditation.”

“You're being cast for your acting ability. It's not based on the way your body functions. If you're playing a lead in a movie, it's for that character and they'll tailor it to you. In a dance company, you have to fit in a definite mold.”

“Sometimes emotions just come out in their own way.”

“Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film, it was intelligent, it was funny, it took a laugh at itself.”

“Oh, 'Wild Things.' I haven't seen it since it came out! But you know, it was a fun romp. We had a really good time.”

“I always thought I should base how good I am on how good I feel I am.”

“I do, in some senses, feel that Hollywood and Washington are similar in that, first of all, they are, again, male-dominated worlds, which is not unusual. There are a lot of industries like that, but also, there's a lot of politics when it comes to the ins and outs of getting things done, getting a film made.”
