I am one of those people that's never been really cynical about life, you know.
Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
That's a big gift when people say to you that a song helped them or brought them to some place in their life where they needed to be.
I love playing women at the far ends of the social scale. I've done it all my life; that's where my ability lies.
There's a line in the picture where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do.' That's exactly how I've felt all my life.
I don't know anybody who walks through life all the time in the doldrums, constantly serious and morose. But that's become what we generalize as drama.
I'm not particularly affable in real life, I have to tell you. I've got that side to me, of course, but that's not all I am.
I have this propensity to just come out and say things. That's how I am in real life.
I never fit in. I am a true alternative. And I love being the outcast. That's my role in life, to be an outcast.
It's an unhealthy habit to say that life is what you make of it, and if you want to be happy, then you can be happy. That's just rubbish, basically.
I play guitar and write music, and that's definitely a huge part of my life, but it's my personal thing that I have for me.
The people that matter to me the most are the people that are in my life. That's who I really learn from, and it's always a very personal kind of connection.
I treat everyone as a friend, but if they betray me, that's it. They're out of my life in one way or another.
That's the story of life - when you start enjoying people, it's always too late.
When I retire or pass away, I will be able to look back and say that this has been an exciting life. That's all that matters.
There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.
It's possible to get through life without a religious structure, but I don't think that's a very fruitful way to live.
I think, if you've got children, that's your life. Your 'showbiz' life, if you want to call it that, is a separate thing, and it isn't everything to me.
If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.
Having twin girls is a life changer - that's for sure. But I like getting up and changing diapers. It's the things you do.
There's always difficulties and challenges in every life, I don't care how much money you make, where you live... and that's something this film speaks to.
