Quotes

[on a photo of her in "Vanity Fair"] [laughs] Clearly. I spend all my,time drinking highballs on lawn chairs. It looks glamorous, but that,shoot was mostly spent laughing, shivering or screaming. [laughs] Any,glamorous moment you might mistake me for having is always pretend.

I can say that I had a particularly painful teenage-hood. I felt pretty,alienated most of the time because I wanted to become an actress from,an early age and was made fun of relentlessly.

I think fame should come along with success, talent.

When I was younger there was a lot of discouraging talk: lose weight.

[on what her soul looks like] A moose with a hat on wearing a polka dot,bikini sitting atop a barn of dreams.
