It was traumatic and lovely, ... My character is always trying to get his attention, and I think she feels connected to him because the town judges her for whatever reason and thinks she's a trollop, a tramp, whatever you want to call her.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

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.

The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.

What I get in rock 'n' roll that I don't get in movies is that connection with people. With music it's instantaneous, and just to watch people light up, it's really amazing. I love that connection.

Do you all know who Juliette and the Licks are? We're all just a bunch of actors! We act like we're in a band.

I just couldn't say no. The material is so provocative and visceral that I'm really excited to do it.

Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.
