Personal Quotes
"Everyone said that if you want to be a real actor, go to New York. If you want to sell out, go to LA. And
I thought - I want to sell out!"
"A way you can get really good abs in film is you get your makeup artist to paint shadows--faux washboard.
But if you see me in a movie and I have great abs, it means I have a great body double."
"Spending time with Jim on a stage is an incredibly weird experience! I found myself unable to act seriously!
Hard to shoot with the master of comedy!"
"I still haven't made a film that defines who I am."
"If I was like some of the characters I played, I'd probably be dead by now".
"I was the most popular person in my family. I was like a celebrity. All my sisters would fight over who got
to sleep with me. I was always thinking up all the games, telling all the stories, and had the best clothes. I was the entertainment.
We didn't have television and we didn't have movies, and I was always the boss. I'd write these plays and I'd make everybody
be in them. Once, I had this idea that we'd put all the beds on top of one another so there would be only one bed, but it
would be a really big, tall bed. Then we'd take turns sleeping on that bed while everybody else slept on the floor. Like,
for a month. Everyone thought that was a great idea. I don't know why. I guess because we grew up way, way out in the country
and we never had any neighbors."
On her curves and her frequent cleavage baring characters; "People are always accusing me of having implants."
(On Seed of Chucky): "It's really gruesome, but it's a heartwarming story."
