I get nervous about press and about being rejected or disappointing myself.
Love is the core of everything - nothing survives without it.
When I stepped out from doing films and had a dark period, I never did anything dark on a set, so I never made enemies on a set. I never was a bad girl on a set; I always considered films a really sacred space, so when I had my problems, I had them very much away from the film community.
It's very hard to describe to people sometimes the way I grew up, because it wasn't like my parents were irresponsible. They weren't necessarily reckless, but they were bringing all types of energy into the house, all kinds of people.
When my mother was trying to teach me how to make friends when I was a kid, she'd bring girls over to the house and I'd give them all my clothes. Nothing changes, I still do it. And then I wonder, "Where is that really nice Isabel Marant dress that I spent a fortune on? Oh my god, I gave it to Liza."
That is something I'm specifically equipped to discuss - how reputation can affect even your capacity to rent a place. Having good credit is irrelevant in the face of something like getting thrown out of court six years ago. I've really thought this out.
I'm not a theater rat, so I never got a theatrical agent and did a play. I came really close though.
Four inch nails is more like it!
My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.
I'm clean and sober for over a year and no one seems to care! They're like, 'Oh, her dramatic weight gain.' So, stop making fun of me!
So, I gained a little..weight, .. Big deal. Clean and sober.
My number one thing to work on is not being reactive - but appropriateness doesn't come easily to me sometimes.
I don't need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman.
Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.
