The old footage of my dad, I always knew we were cut from the same cloth, because my dad was such a renegade and always marched to the beat of his own drum. To see where we were both dancing and being silly together, it's too beautiful for words. I was really happy to have that.
Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.
I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly.
I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.
It was traumatic and lovely. My character is always trying to get his attention, and I think she feels connected to him because the town judges her for whatever reason and thinks she's a trollop, a tramp, whatever you want to call her.

Do you all know who Juliette and the Licks are? We're all just a bunch of actors! We act like we're in a band.
We have some mutual friends in common in the skate-rebel-punk-weird world,
I collect clothes - they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
I just couldn't say no. The material is so provocative and visceral that I'm really excited to do it.
As actors, we want to go find the humanity and make it more nuanced and fill in the colors, rather than just being suit people who crack cases, 'cause they aren't that.
Being wild can be wearing a silly hat. Being wild can be dancing weird. Being wild can be shooting people. What do I think being wild is? Nothing. Actually, the whole world is wild. Everything is wild.
I know what I'm doing. And I even know when I don't know what I'm doing. Then there are people who don't want to know that you know what you're doing.
Understanding human nature. Perception. That's how I see acting - perception and communication.
