I've never really been about looking good - I'm just bad at that stuff.

I was in Jersey when the whole World Trade Center thing happened and I felt powerless. So, I went to Hawaii and did a surf movie. It's kind of fluffy.

I was born in Texas and I lived there 'till I was 8. Then I moved to the Dominican Republic with my mom, lived there for two years and forgot every word of English I knew.

Whenever a female takes a strong stand for herself, the majority of the time they have to really, really narrow it down to being feminine and wearing dresses and just being lipstick chic.

You can keep knocking me down forever, I'll keep getting up and trying.

The more confidence you have in yourself and the more you believe that you are destined to do what you are gonna do, it will happen.

When I was about, I'd say, 18 or 19 years old, I wanted to be a part of the CIA just because they know those intimate secrets... So I was just always into knowing. I like to know things.

My favorite part of my body is my brain. I think no matter what my body looks like I wont be satisfied unless I know how to use it.

I do what I want, when I want, how I want, and because of that, it has taken me so long to grow into an adult human being.

I'm stubborn. I'm hardheaded. I don't do what I don't want to do.

I knew nothing about the independent film industry. I didn't know much about the industry itself. All I knew was how to watch movies, how to enjoy them, how to hate them, how not to like them.

The only thing that can hurt me now is the thought of never knowing this feeling again. To never be able to touch you this way again...

A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ.

I'm not dissatisfied, just not satisfied in an ultimate sense.

When humans find themselves surrounded by nothing but objects, the response is always one of loneliness.

Feed the lettuce to the bunny and eat the bunny.

I remember someone saying to my mom that it must be so glamorous to have a child acting in movies. They had no idea how hard it was for her.

It's the people who try to be clever who never are; the people who are clever never think of trying to be.

The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail.

To me, Godard did to movies what Bob Dylan did to music: they both revolutionized their forms.

I prefer to shock rather than to bore through repetition.
