People think I am America's party girl, which is just stupid. I have done 24 movies and I am creating my own TV show.
If I am in a beautiful place, but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
I am an optimist even though I am told everything I do is negative and cynical.
I have never felt that the one thing that I am 'known for' is what I am.
I am very career minded, and I think my personality is more suited to America. I am a working mother.
Well, I outline fanatically. I am a long thinker and a slow writer, though I am trying to get faster.
I am a father, I am very aware of the things that I'm putting out in the world knowing that one day my children will watch the work that I've done. I want to be able to stand by it.
I was raised a Catholic. But I am not religious. In my work, I am interested in real flesh and blood.
I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.
And more importantly, I wouldn't be the person I am today, I wouldn't be where I am now and I may not even have been here if it wasn't for the accident.
Why do I write? It's not that I want people to think I am smart, or even that I am a good writer. I write because I want to end my loneliness.
I won't have a traditional marriage; I don't find the value in that anymore. But I am such a hopeless romantic and I really want love and I want a committed relationship, so I am going to reinvent marriage for myself.
Wherever I wander off to, when I draw, when I paint, I get my life back. I am lucky that I am an Artist.
I must say, I am a 10,000-times better director because I am in therapy. I'm serious. I can understand more the actors. I can manipulate them more easily.
I just find it thrilling, especially when I totally lock in to the person that I am doing and I'm really flying... I suppose I am hiding myself when I sing as these other people.
I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity.
I think I need to accept the fact that I am where I am today because fans have shared my music illegally and legally, but I wouldn't be here today without the Internet, so I can't speak out against it.
I know who you are...I've fallen hard for that person, and I sure as hell am not going to let you fade into your past.
Since so much of this music bubbled up urgently from my subconsious mind, I'm left to interpret it much like anyone else.
In 1945 music had a serious purpose; to defy post war depression & revitalize the romantic & hopeful aspirations of an exhausted ppl.
Body and soul can never be married I need to become who I already am and will bellow forever at this incongruity which has committed me to hell
