I'm just not interested in selling out to get on the charts and make people happy

I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain damage from the vodka the night before. Today, heart attack - my arm and chest started hurting at the same time.

I'm more of a tomboy than anything and then you see your name on these Top 50 Most Beautiful People lists and you're like, 'What?'

Anytime I was in Memphis with my dad and at the house, I was happy. That was, like, a given. It was what I lived for. And I still feel the same excitement and warmth.

There are no individuals in the world only fragments of families

To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Live life when you have it. Life is a splendid gift-there is nothing small about it.

Fancy rules over two thirds of the universe, the past, and future, while reality is confined to the present

Experiment is the sole judge of the validity of any idea.

I listen to the crowds [laughs]... I like Blind Melon very much.

My roles don't centre around drugs at all! Shadiness is different - it's drama. We're making movies! You've gotta have conflict.
