"I was really quite pretty until I was 11 or 12, which I think the back of Live Through This shows. I sort of looked like Eddie Vedder. I was the last girl on the planet with tits. I was the girl that would never hit puberty. I forever looked like I was seven. And then I got ugly; I was ugly until I was 25. But back then, I was usually one of the most attractive people in the room, except in an unusual way. Still, I knew what I had, and I worked the fuck out of it. And so, when it was gone, I really missed it. I really resented puberty for that. It took away my beauty."
"I guess [my coming out] was a big deal but it didn't really seem to me like a big deal. It seemed to me like somebody asked me a question and I was faced with a moment of truth. Am I gonna be truthful about what I am and who I am? [It's] really important today to be truthful about that ... For a long time I hid. I hid from myself, most importantly, and that came at a huge price ... I don't wanna pay that price today. I can't be who all these other people in the world expect me to be."
"I think there's a connection between countenance and character. I could play a bad guy but only via my own countenance. I don't see any reason to play a villain, you know, just for the sake of blowing my image out of the water or trying to surprise an audience. I'm not a chameleon. I can't change completely what I project on screen, although there are any number of diabolical people out there who look like me."
"Let's say I committed this crime ... even if I did do this, it would have been because I loved her very much, right?"
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
"A woman should say: 'Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?' ... If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy."
