"I don't really like to go out very much. I'm not scandalous. I'm not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing
when you read about people and it's like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around.
I don't want to be that person. That's just so embarrassing to have that written about you."

"I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal."

"I don't want to go to another roller-coaster ride of a movie. If I want that, I'll go to Magic Mountain. I'm really interested in the young directors that are doing different things in cinema. I think the movies people will hold onto are the Rushmores and the Being John Malkoviches. Those are the kind of films I want to do; that's what I'm passionate about."

"For a while I was like, "Oh my God, anyone that would release an album as an actor is the biggest fool ever", but I happened to have sung all my life before I was an actor. Why are musicians allowed to become actors? No one ever gives them flack for that."

"I don't want to be a babe. I don't want vanity to ever get in the way, because I think to maintain that, you have to be
aware of yourself all the time, and that gets in the way of acting. My job's not to be the beautiful person. My job is to be the best actor I can be."
