Movieline 1999 Interview by Michael Angeli:
"I moved to New York, didn't know anybody and didn't know if I was gonna even be an actor anymore, went to school, didn't know if I would miss being an actor. There were lots of terrifying moments, lots of uplifting moments, but for a few months, which included spending a Christmas alone… being on the subway a lot.. I was terrified of being on my own."
"We had a heavy relationship because we were so much alike." -On her father
"I had a therapist in school…I thought it was extra credit to take drug group and private therapy so I took it. And my therapist just really, really wanted to blame everything, all my problems, on my father."
"[My therapist] thought it was impossible for me to be adjusted because my parents were divorced. I thought I was managing, but she just wanted to GET TO IT, know what I mean? I came in one day and told her I'd had this dream that I stabbed my father with a fork, and she was just thrilled. She was, like, happy I killed my parent. 'Now we're getting somewhere.' That was the end of my therapy."
"My accent is so fucked up right now, it's all over the place. My accent is suppose to be 'New Yawk' for Bone Collector, but if I have on drink it drifts into Southern. And if I'm with Jonny too much, I go British."
"I loved Anaconda. It's not the greatest movie, but he really had his sense of humor, and that alone meant the world to me. Also I had a pet snake when I was little. I had lizards and snakes all my life. So, here he's the guy in love with the snake..it was like this little message."
"I could adopt.. I'm not this big blood person. I almost feel closer to someone who's not blood, because the relationship came out of nothing preconceived."

Talk June/July 2000:
On self mutilation "By the time I was 16, I had gotten it all out of my system."
On Billy Bob "Well, he's always been my favorite director, the actor I love to watch, the writer I love to read, or hear his words said. And I met him and he was just such a good person: one of the funniest people on the planet, and really.. just a great, great person. He doesn't judge anybody."
"He lived with me and he used to spend a lot of time with me at my mom's house. And he was a really good person, a sweet guy.. not threatening, not scary. She knew I was at that age where I was going to be looking around, and [either] it was going to be in weird situations or it was going to be in my house, in my room."
"I live very much in the moment. But because of that, sometimes you don't come upon anything that is .. lasting. You constantly let go of things and you're always alone."
"Sorry, I'm not a morning person. I was up until 4 a.m."
Tattoos "It's who you are: it's a statement of what stands behind you, what represents you, and where your heart is at and where your life is at. People think that's insane, extreme, and too much."
Changing her mind on having kids "I was so sure that I was not capable of very much as a human being, with my work being the way it was. I didn't see how it was possible, and I didn't think it would be fair. But my priorities have changed. My life has changed."
"But at the end of the day even the toughest woman wants a confident man."
"I just want to do the job I always wanted to do since I was a little girl, and live in peace with family and people I love, and just be silly and collect T-shirts from gas stations and go on road trips and eat popcorn in the middle of the night and watch TV."
Ordering at McDonalds "Can I get a Happy Meal?"
Elle June 2000:
"I like myself better when I'm heavier. And I'm sick of seeing bodies that don't look like a woman. A woman is a woman because she has curves."
"When you stop at Baskin-Robbins and get a cone with sprinkles and sit in the car singing along to Elvis on the radio. It's an absolutely necessary thing to do, because you can."
"I've realized that being happy is a choice. You never want to rub anybody the wrong way or not be fun to be around, but you have to be happy."
Adolescence "I wore black fishnets and boots because I wanted to hide myself. I wanted to feel everything and go slam dancing. But at the same time, I was doing plays and taking ballroom classes at Arthur Murray. I'd wash off all the ink I had drawn on my arms, take off my twenty-hole Doc Martens, and put on high heels and a dress and win tango competitions. My friends though I was insane. But I thought it was fun."
"Honestly, I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm walking down the street."
"I am always on top. It's really unfortunate. I am begging for the man that can put me on the bottom. Or the woman. Anybody that can take me down."
"I have a dark reputation and people assume all kinds of things. I do have tattoos and I do wear leather, but there are other sides of me that my films express. And that it is what people should be looking at."
"I'm attempting to master the Easy-Bake Oven. I want to make an infomercial and a cookbook."
Allure 2001:
"I am completely who I am and people can take it one way or the other, but at least I'm living honestly."
On BB "I'm obsessed with my husband, madly obsessed with him. I walk around the set [of Tomb Raider] half the time asking people what time it is and then screaming. 'Oh, he's in bed, he's sleeping.' Then I get happy and run around and they just think I'm nuts."
On house with BB "I plan to have fun in every corner of the house. I saw these life-size horses, they're made of some kind of plastic.. so instead of chairs in the living room, we're going to have a bunch of those."
"I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you just dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive."
"I had a shaved head and no make up on. I felt more beautiful, because I felt like an animal and I felt very clean. I had to do a few photo shoots, and because of the way I looked, they couldn't put me in some frilly dress. They couldn't put too much make up on me, they couldn't curl my hair. It ended up always having to be.. me."
"I felt beautiful when I was in Cambodia. I was sweaty, and my hair was matted and all over the place. And I was happy ad hot and accomplishing a lot and running around, and I could feel my heart beating, and I felt beautiful."
"And barefoot or first thing in the morning, I feel beautiful. Because I feel like me."
"When somebody just loves you, and when you can make somebody happy, when your presence seems to make them happy, you suddenly feel like the most beautiful person in the world."
Hollywood Life Aug 2003:
On how experiences with refugees affected her "It certainly made me a better person, made me understand human beings better, made me wish that we were all more aware of what's really going on in the world. It shocked me. I'm certainly grateful for very simple things now and I want a lot less than I've wanted before. I appreciate my family and my life and my freedoms so much more."
On Maddox " He's only 20 months old and is the funniest person I've ever met. He's very silly and has the greatest laugh. He's very true to his country because he's very wild, but he has something peaceful about him and he loves to be outdoors."
"I became more focused before I decided to be a mother. Maddox made my life more focused but also caused a huge amount of chaos, in a beautiful way. I've never cleaned so much and crawled on the floor so much.. and I wouldn't trade it for anything."
"I don't read magazines anymore, that was a big change. It was a very clear moment in my life when I was on this plane being handed tea and Vogue and Elle magazines. My mind immediately became consumed with all these material things that I should have and I was reading the criticism of people, and suddenly I realized how influenced we are by what we have around us."
GQ sept. 2003:
"He wasn't respectful of me and he wasn't committed to our marriage. Things were going on behind my back that I couldn't live with. He turned out to be less of a man than I'd expected."
"It's nice to speak from the heart rather than being careful about how you present yourself."
"I think I fear being confined. I tend to be more afraid of having not done something, of regret. I just like to be free."
On Lara Croft "She seems likes the person you could call up and say, 'Do you wanna trek into the middle of nowhere with me?' And she'd say, 'Yeah. Tomorrow? Let's go." That's my kind of woman."
On dancing "I might surprise a few people but I took ballroom dancing classes. So if I have the right partner I dance very traditionally. Either that or like a complete lunatic. I like to jump around."
"I've always been afraid to accidentally really hurt somebody in a fight. Because I think your adrenaline is really pumping and you attack somebody in a way that you've been trained to do and you could not break their nose, you could kill them."
